Summary: Bovine semen cryopreservation is a fundamental procedure in animal reproduction. However, it is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause significant damage to spermatozoa, leading to infertility and reduced sperm quality. In this context, using seminal diluents enriched with antioxidants presents a promising strategy for minimizing or even reversing these harmful effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of pequi (Caryocar coriaceum) esters as a supplement to bovine semen cryopreservation diluents. Forty two ejaculates were collected from six bulls that had undergone an andrological examination and were deemed suitable.
