Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and kinematics of Bali-polled bull sperm to identify reproductive potential.Semen collection of Bali-polled bull was conducted once a week using an artificial vagina.The semen was proceeded until the frozen semen.Parameters were motility, motility progressive, kinematics sperms, viability, abnormality membrane integrity, and acrosome integrity.The Bali-polled bull semen was analyzed by using CASA with the Sperms Vision Version 3.7.5 program.The results in this study showed that sperms motility in Bali-horned bull was significantly lower (P<0.01)than Bali-polled bull, Brahman, Limousine, and Simmental.The sperms viability in Bali-horned and polled bull was significantly lower (P<0.01)compared to other bull breeds.The membrane integrity and acrosome integrity of Bali-polled bull sperms was significantly higher (P<0.01)than in Bali-horned bull.DCL, DAP, and DSL of Bali-polled bull were significantly higher (P<0.01)than Bali-horned bull.VCL, VAP, and VSL of Bali-horned bull were significantly lower (P<0.01)than Bali-polled, Simmental, Limousine, and Brahman bull.Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that Bali-polled bull had good sperm characteristics and kinematics compared with various breeds so that the Bali-polled bull can have the potential to become superior bulls to contribute to the strategies for developing Bali bull as a national beef bull contributor.
