Abstract

The seminal plasma composition of NARI Suwarna rams, a strain of sheep with improved reproductive capability was evaluated over six months, divided equally into breeding (winter) and non-breeding (summer) seasons. The lipid peroxidation during the non-breeding season was significantly higher, whereas all other estimated parameters viz. total protein, cholesterol, AST, ALT and ALP did not show any significant variation (p>0.05) between or within breeding (winter) and non-breeding (summer) seasons.
