A study was conducted to examine antioxidant effect of quercetin in tris egg yolk citrate extender on chilling quality of Surti buck semen. Total 72 semen ejaculates were collected from four Surti buck (18 ejaculate/buck) twice in a week by artificial vagina method. Semen samples were diluted with Tris egg yolk citrate extender and different quercetin concentration viz. C-0 µM, T1-15 µM, T2-25 µM, T3-50 µM, T4-75 µM, T5-100 µM and stored at refrigerated temperature (4-5ºC). Evaluation of semen parameters was done at 0, 24, 36 and 48 hours. The result showed that functional membrane integrity was well maintained at 15µM quercetin in tris egg yolk citrate extended buck semen maintained at refrigerated temperature up to 48 hours.
