Methods:The data were  obtained through observations onseven Pasundan bulls in March 2021 towards fresh semen quality and some factors influencing it. The Pasundan bulls observed were seven productive males. Results: The fresh semen quality of Pasundan cattle, such as volume, color, and pH, showed good result,s but the average consistency and concentration of spermatozoa were still below the standard. The factors that can affect the fresh semen quality are the breed of beef cattle, age, body weight, feed, season, exercise, and frequency of semen storage.
