文摘

Supplementing young bulls with n-6 or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids alters seminal plasma and sperm fatty acid composition. Quantity and quality of fresh semen is not improved by supplementation with either n-6 or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. There were no appreciable improvements to the quality of post-thaw semen following dietary supplementation of bulls.
