title: Isolation of Moraxella bovis from frozen bovine semen and determination of microbial load.
abstract: In the present study, isolation of Moraxella bovis was done from the microbiological examination of frozen semen straws from clinically healthy twelve Jersey and one Jersey-cross bull supplied by a semen laboratory. The organism was identified on the basis of colonial morphology and biochemical characteristics. Further, viable cell count of the bacterium was studied in detail in the semen sample.
