Preservation of boar semen at 18°C temperature requires climatic box which is costlier offence. Present study investigated seminal status at refrigeration (5°C) temperature in comparison to commonly used storage temperature (18° C). A total of 72 semen ejaculates were collected, diluted with KIEV extender and incubated at 2 different storage temperatures (18°C and 5°C) for 24, 48 and 72 hours, and seminal attributes were analyzed after each period.
