Paper Summary

The researchers studied the proteins in buffalo semen to see how they relate to semen quality. They looked at two buffalo bulls and found that one bull had higher levels of certain proteins, which may indicate better fertility potential. The study suggests that these proteins could be used to select bulls with higher fertility in the future.
