Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the biochemical components and the parameters of antioxidant protection in the seminal plasma (SP) of boars, as well as their relationship with semen quality parameters. Thirty-six boars were included in the study, whose ejaculates were divided into two groups: Group I (good quality semen, > 70% progressively motile sperm, n = 16), and Group II (poor quality semen, < 70% progressively motile sperm, n = 20). Signi cantly higher concentrations of ionized calcium (iCa), total … Show more
