The NARI Suwarna ram, a triple cross sheep strain known to carry the FecB gene was evaluated for seasonal variations in seminal characteristics during breeding (winter) and non-breeding (summer) seasons. In the study, semen samples from five sexually mature rams were evaluated for various seminal parameters, the live sperm percentage was significantly (p<0.05) higher during breeding (winter) season whereas other semen characteristics viz. semen volume, colour, wave motion, individual motility, sperm concentration, acrosome integrity, sperm abnormalities did not show any significant variation (p>0.05) between or within breeding (winter) and non-breeding (summer) seasons. Hence, it is concluded that NARI Suwarna rams can produce equally good quality semen in winter as well as summer seasons.
