A total of 240 ewes were inseminated at the deep into the cervix with fresh or  chilled semen diluted in either Tris-Milk diluents. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the non-return rates between Tris and Tris-Milk diluents (32.5v 40.0% respectively) Chilled storage of the semen for 24h resulted in significant (P 0.05) in lambing rates between  diluents (27.5 v 36.5% for Tris and Tris- Milk respectively.
