Semen samples were diluted with Tris egg yolk citrate extender and quercetin at different 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 Addition of 15µM and 25 µM quercetin in tris egg yolk citrate extender maintained motility above 50 % till 36 hours at refrigerated temperature (4-5â°C).
