Abstract
This study was conducted to determine chromatin integrity and DNA damage by DNA electrophoresis and comet assays of
buffalo fresh and frozen semen. Semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls and evaluated after freezing for semen
motility, viability, sperm abnormalities, chromatin integrity and DNA damage. A significant variation was found in semen
parameters after thawing. Highly significant differences (P
