This study investigated the effect of adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in semen extender prior cryopreservation on post-thaw quality, kinematics, and in vivo fertility of fertile and subfertile buffalo spermatozoa. Eleven buffalo bulls were classified based on their conception rate (CR) into fertile (n = 8, CR > 55%) and subfertile (n = 3, CR < 35%) groups. Ejaculates were collected with artificial vagina, pooled, and dispensed into 6 aliquots, diluted with Tris-egg yolk-glycerol extender supplemented with different proportions of PRP [0% (control), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%] followed by cryopreservation using standard procedures...
