“…In peripubertal male goats, a positive relationship was observed between sexual behavior, semen quality, and erythrocyte population and a leukocyte decrease. Such a scenario activated the adenylate cyclase system that controls testicular testosterone synthesis, while causing a positive stimulating effect on the leukocyte antioxidant defense enzyme system as well as on the spermatogenesis process [ 31 ]. It is important to remember that in our study the HSR males also performed a greater number of mounts with ejaculation.…”

Dorper rams (n = 24) were evaluated during the sexual resting season to determine their social rank (SR), either high (HSR) or low (LSR), under intensive management conditions in northern Mexico (25° N). Aggressive behaviors were quantified during male-to-male interactions, and appetitive and consummatory sexual behaviors during male-to-female interactions. Morphometric, live weight (LW), and body condition score (BCS) were recorded. During the early reproductive season, male-to-female behaviors were newly itemized simultaneously by seminal quality and quantity sampling. Finally, the dependent variables of the hemogram components were also quantified. Neither LW (61.25 ± 2.4 kg) nor morphometric variables differed between SR groups. However, BCS (2.25 vs. 2.66 u), sexual behaviors (i.e., approaches: 59.6 vs. 21.73 n, mating with ejaculation: 77.7 vs. 42.86 %, latency to ejaculation: 16.6 vs. 143.07 s), ejaculate volume (0.57 vs. 0.23 mL), and hemogram components favored the HSR rams (p < 0.05). Moreover, in their first male-to-female interaction, >50% of the LSR rams failed to display any sexual activity. HSR rams displayed a greater number of threatening behaviors, managing to displace LSR rams when exposed to estrus ewes during the male sexual resting season; more sexual behaviors; and an increased seminal volume in a non-live weight-dependent fashion.

“…15 Daily dietary supplementation in nondeficient bucks with 12.5 or 25 mg/kg of Cu proteinate increased sperm concentration, motility, membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, and cryosurvival. [16][17][18][19] This was associated with increased expression and activity of SOD-1, CAT, and GPX4 in sperm and decreased lipid peroxidation. 17,18 Supplementation of bucks with Cu also increased plasma testosterone concentrations, sexual behavior, scrotal circumference, and advanced puberty ~ 30 days.…”

Testicular dysfunction is often associated with an imbalance in antioxidant/oxidant homeostasis, leading to negative effects of oxidative stress on germ cell proliferation, steroidogenesis, and sperm function. Trace minerals (TM) are involved in basic homeostatic and enzymatic processes like free radical detoxification, cellular respiration, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, synthesis and metabolism of proteins, and stabilization of membranes and DNA. Dietary source of TM is necessary to support these processes. Supplementing cattle with TM is nowadays a common practice to help support growth, reproduction, and immunity. This review provides information on roles of TM in bulls testicular and sperm functions, and effects of TM mineral supplementation on bull reproductive parameters.
