Correlation between fertility and levels of protein, sugar and free amino acids in seminal plasma of Nelore bulls

Correlations between fertility and the concentrations of proteins, reducing sugars and 17 types of free amino acids in the seminal plasma of Nelore bulls were estimated. The samples were collected from 19 bulls that had high quality semen, according to physical and morphological analyses. The bulls...

The samples were collected from 19 bulls that had high quality semen, according to physical and morphological analyses. The bulls had their fertility scores estimated based on the pregnancy of the females mated to them during three consecutive breeding seasons, either by artificial insemination or by natural breeding. A large variability in the concentrations of the molecules was observed among the samples and a significant correlation coefficient (r= 0.90) between levels of proteins and reducing sugars was estimated.

Estimaram-se as correlações entre fertilidade e concentrações de proteínas, açúcares redutores e 17 tipos de aminoácidos livres do plasma seminal de 19 touros Nelore, adultos, doadores de sêmen de alta qualidade segundo as análises físicas e morfológicas. O escore de fertilidade foi estimado de acordo com a porcentagem de gestação das fêmeas cobertas em três estações de monta consecutivas, por inseminação artificial ou monta natural. Foi observada alta variabilidade na concentração das moléculas analisadas nas amostras. O coeficiente de correlação estimado entre concentrações de proteína e de açúcares redutores foi de 0,90. Individualmente, nenhum dos componentes quantificados apresentou correlação significativa com a fertilidade dos touros. 2017-12-07T04:42:19Z 2017-12-07T04:42:19Z 2005 Artigo Arq. Bras. Med. Vet.
