Secretion from seminal vesicle and other accessory glands contributes to the level of ascrobic acid in bovine semen, Jain, Jain and Arora recently reported about ascorbic acid concentration in bovine and bubaline spermatozoa and seminal plasma. The concentration of ascorbic acid in semen plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of sperm cells, by preventing oxidative damage to sperm DNA. In view of the role played by ascobic acid in sperm motility and fertility, the repeatability (r) value of asscorbic acid content assunes greater significance. Since repeatability is related to a reproductive trait, it was thought to study the heritability (h2) aspect with the ultimate object of suggesting likely procedure for selection of breeding bulls of high fertability of ascorbic acid concentration in whole semen and its factions prompted us for this probe. The results of these findings are being reported in this communication.
