Higher concentrations of both fructose and citric acid were obtained between July and October during the rainy season and low values between January and April during winter, with marked monthly and seasonal variation in both characters. Considerable monthly variation in the hydrogen-ion concentration of semen was obtained with lower values between August and January and higher values between February and July. The androgenic status of the animals appears not to be decreased during the hot weather, but no explanation can be offered for the decrease during the winter.  aAnimal breeding  aAnimal genetics  aCitric acid  aFructose  aRams  aReproduction  aSheep  aSpermatozoa  aÁcido Cítrico  aFrutose  aPh  aReprodução  aBioquimica seminal1 aGALIL, A.
