Semen samples from breeding bulls (22), comprising Murrah (4), Surti (5), Holstein Friesian (4), Jersey (4) and crossbred bulls (5) (Holstein Friesian x Gil' and Jersey x Gil' with 50 to 75% exotic inheritance) were obtained at fortnight's interval for 7 occasions, during the experimental period. Semm zinc, copper, iron, cobalt and manganese were estimented. The seminal plasma zinc concentration remained almost similar in buffalo and cow bulls.
