In this study, we recorded that 13%, 37%, 40%, 6% and 4% Murrah buffalo bulls had reaction time of &lt;30, 31\u201360, 61\u2013180, 181\u2013300 and &gt;300\u00a0s, respectively. Further, it was observed that 4%, 85% and 10% buffalo bulls were sexually aggressive, active and dull, respectively, during semen collection. The courtship behaviour was not found to be desirable for the bulls used for the semen collection. Mean of ejaculate volume, sperm concentration and mass motility (0\u20135 scale) were 3.57\u00a0ml, 977.11\u00a0million\/ml, 2.7, respectively. Correlation studies revealed that the reaction time was positively correlated with courtship behaviour and body weight, and negatively correlated with sexual aggressiveness and sperm concentration. Serum kisspeptin in buffalo bulls, measured for the first time, was found to 3.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.7\u00a0ng\/ml. Serum kisspeptin and testosterone level are negatively correlated to each other and kisspeptin level influenced the sexual behaviour (reaction time, sexual aggressiveness and penile erection) of study bulls. Serum kisspeptin was higher in the buffalo bulls with higher sperm concentration indicating its role in spermatogenesis. In conclusion, for the first time basic information related to sexual behaviour of Murrah buffalo bulls in large population along with its inter\u2010relationship with peripheral hormones (kisspeptin and testosterone) has been documented.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.13761","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]],"date-time":"2020-06-30T03:31:20Z","timestamp":1593487880000},"page":"1190-1201","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Serum kisspeptin: New possible biomarker for sexual behaviour and sperm concentration in buffalo bulls"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Sonam","family":"Bhardwaj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Physiology and Reproduction Division ICAR\u2010 Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes Hisar India"},{"name":"Livestock Production and Management Section ICAR\u2010 National Dairy Research Institute Karnal India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3930-2201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pradeep","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Physiology and Reproduction Division ICAR\u2010 Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes Hisar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andonissamy","family":"Jerome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Physiology and Reproduction Division ICAR\u2010 Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes Hisar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suman","family":"Ravesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Physiology and Reproduction Division ICAR\u2010 Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes Hisar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chandrashekhar","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Hisar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pawan","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Livestock Production and Management Section ICAR\u2010 National Dairy Research Institute Karnal India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Puran Chand","family":"Lailer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Physiology and Reproduction Division ICAR\u2010 Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes Hisar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0093-691X(93)90289-H"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3906\/sag-1505-69"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","first-page":"67","article-title":"Oxytocin\u2014a stimulator in the semen production of bulls","volume":"33","author":"Bereznev A.
