Abstract: The study evaluated the quality of goat semen by analyzing key descriptive parameters and their correlations. The fresh semen evaluation was subjected to macroscopic and macroscopic evaluation like volume, concentration (10⁶ /mL), viability%, acrosome integrity%, abnormality% and plasma membrane integrity%. The descriptive statistics and correlation analysis was done. The results indicate that the bucks possess exceptionally high-quality semen, as evidenced by a mean sperm concentration exceeding 3,200 million/ml, high viability (84.62%), high acrosome integrity (80.88%), and a low abnormality rate of 4.5%. These descriptive statistics collectively suggest a robust and highly fertile sample, well-suited for breeding and artificial insemination. A negative relationship was observed between sperm concentration and acrosome integrity. Similarly, the correlation between semen volume and sperm concentration was found to be a weak and non-significant negative relationship.
