Abstract :
This report describes semen collection by electroejaculation (EE) method from an urethrostomy goat. The buck used in this study underwent the urethrostomy four months before being incapacitated. The semen was collected by EE two times at 30 min apart. Generally, all the semen characteristics were very poor. The semen volume, concentration, motility and viability of the first ejaculate were higher than those of the second ejaculation. EE was useful for semen collection from a genetically superior goat, incapacitated due to urethrostomy.
