Abstract

Fructose and citric acid rates were determined in semen samples from 25 Bos indicus bulls (Nelore breed). The results were: 1) the 30 months old Nelore bulls had fructose values of 252.69 mg/100 ml of semen and citric acid of 166.0 mg/l00 ml of semen; 2) the 4-7 year old Nelore bulls showed fructose values of 259.05 mg/l00 ml of semen and citric acid of 165,57/100 ml of semen. Significant differences (P < 0,05) were not determined among both groups values of fructose and citric acid, concluding also that alimentary factor had no interference with obtained rates.
