Summary:  Addition of an optimum level of caffeine (7 mM) during preservation (5° C) of buffalo semen in EYC medium had a stimulatory effect on sperm motility. It increased the preservation time of buffalo semen by delaying the loss of sperm motility. Immotile buffalo sperm due to cold shock could also be mobilised by addition of caffeine. Zusammenfassung:  Das Zugeben von Coffein (7 mMol) während der Konservierung von Büffelspermatozoen bei 5° C in EYC Medium (Ei‐Dotter‐Citrat) bewirkt eine Stimulation der Spermatozoenmotilität. Es verlängert die Konservierungszeit von Büffelejakula‐ten und verzögert den Motilitätsverlust. Durch Kälteeinwirkung unbeweglich gewordene Spermatozoen vom Büffel konnten ebenfalls durch Zugabe von Coffein wieder motil wer‐den.
