Seasonal Variation in Antioxidant Defence Biomarkers and ROMO1 Gene Expression in Relation to Semen Quality of Goat Bucks.

The oxidative status of seminal fluid is a critical factor in producing high-quality sperm doses for artificial insemination. This study aimed to investigate the impact of seasonal variations on oxidative stress biomarkers and ROMO1 (Reactive Oxygen Modulator 1) gene expression in Barbari and Sirohi bucks. Four ejaculates of adult breeding Barbari and Sirohi bucks, six from each breed, were collected fortnightly using an artificial vagina during the summer and winter seasons for the study.
