1 Bulletin of Egypt. Soc. Physiol, Sci. THE PRESENCE OF GONADOTROPHINS IN SEMEN OF EGYPTIAN BUFFALO BULLS Shawky Soliman Ibrahim, Abed Aboul-Ela, Abdel Salam Ibrahim El Azab. Department of Physiology and Biochemistry, Faculty of Vet, Med, Beni Suef. Department of Artificial Insemination, Pyramid Res. Inst, for Animal Reproduction. In an attempt to determine the presence of gonadotrophins in semen of farm animals, ejaculates were collected from (12) healthy and sexually mature buffalo bulls, Besides, blood samples were collected from all animals, S e m and seminal plasma were separated by centrifugation. FSH and LH levels were determined using the immunoassay methods. The results revealed that gonadotrophins are present at considerable levels both in semen and seminal plasma, INTRODUCTION There is a shortage in buffalo bull population,which is considered as one of the main problems in animal bre~eding in Egypt, Therefore, in order to face such challenge, it has been necessary to furnish basic in- formation concerning the reproductive pattern,sexual desire and semen characteristics, In this respect, during the last few decades, profuse studies have been carried out to elucidate the physical characte-
2 ristics and biochemical composition of buffalo bull semen & 50 However, such studies did not involve the hormonal activity of semen, On the other hand, the estrogenic and androgenic activities 6 of human and bovine semen were reported. Bearing in mind that FSH and LH regulate the testicular fun- ctions and the secretory activities of male acces- sory organs, the presence of these two hormones semen is quite possible. in It is intended by the pre- sent study to determine the presence or absence of gonadotrophins in ejaculated semen of mature buffalo bulls, MATERIAL AND METHODS Collection of samples : Semen was collected twice weekly, for (6) weeks from (12) sexually mature buffalo bulls, Soon after collection, each ejaculate was subjected to the rou- tine scheme of semen evaluation. A small part was kept frozen as whole semen and the rest of the eja- culate was centrifuged to separate the seminal pla- 0 sma which was kept at -20 C, A blood samples was collected weekly from each animal, centrifuged and serum was kept at -20 c, Preparation of FSH and LH and their antisera : FSH and LH were prepared from fresh pituitary glands collected from slaughtered mature buffaloes. The two hormones were prepared and purified according to the methods of Fraenkel-Conret et alm7 and Li et
3 a1.8 with modification of ~boul-l3lag0 FSH and LH antisera were prepared by injecting the hormones in healthy mature male rabbits as outlined by 10 Tadeusz Scgency, Serum and seminal FSH and LH contents were de- termined by haemoagglutination inhibition immuno- 12 assay according to wide1' and Schuurs RESULTS Mean values of ejaculte volume (ml), motility (%) 6 and sperm concentration (X 10 /ml) are presented in Table (I), There were no significant differe- nces between the two age groups in the ejaculate volume or motility (%), ration was significantly (P (0.01) B ( more than 3 years), Meanwhile, sperm concent- higher in group Data presented in Table (2) show that the levels of FSH and LH in serum were several times higher than their levels in whole semen or seminal plasma, It is apparent that FSH and LH increased significantly in the higher age, y DISCUSSION It is a fact that the reproductive efficiency and testicular potentials improved with the advancement of age towards maturity, Therefore, the higher quality of semen in group B (more than 3 years) is acceptable, However, the values recorded for semen of

6 bulls in group A ( less than 3 years) approach the normal values recorded in previous studies 2,3 8' 4 Looking through the results presented in Table (2), it can be noticed that the overall means of serum FSH and LH are higher than values recorded in a previous study, El-Azab et all3. This variation can be attributed to the difference in methodology as well as the management. It is clearly obvious that FSH level in serum of older bulls ( ,09) was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than its level in young bulls. This finding can explain the sig- nificant difference in sperm concentration between the two age groups, Table (1). Meanwhile, the si- milarity in serum LH levels in the two groups means that androgens production and sexual desire were nearly similar, It is of interest to note the presence of FSH and LH at considerable levels in whole semen and seminal plasma, Table (2). However, further inves- tigations are in need to clarify what and how gona- dotrophins contributed to the ejaculate, REEERENCES 1) Hafez, E.S.E. and Darwish, Y.H,: Effect of e jaculation on semen characteristics in the buffalo, J.
