The aim of this study was to evaluate the semen Characteristics of Poitou donkey. 32 ejaculates from four Poitou donkeys 8 ejaculates from each was collected between month September to November 2016, using Colorado style of AV and Each fresh semen sample was evaluated for total semen volume, gel in semen, gel free volume, progressive sperm motility, sperm concentration, live sperm count and Abnormal sperm percentage were subjected to gross and microscopic evaluation. Mean (±SD) of total semen volume, Gel-free volume, Gel volume and pH were 58.00±4.45 ml, 44.43±3.92 ml, 13.09±1.40 ml and 7.74±0.04 respectively. Progressive sperm motility, sperm concentration, live sperm percentage and abnormal sperm percentage were 88.46±0.35%, 282.12±4.81 million/ml, 91.84±0.32% and 8.75±0.26% respectively. There was no significant individual difference in most semen parameters. The study thus revealed that semen can be successfully collected and evaluated as part of a breeding soundness examination of Poitou donkey.
