RESUMO
The objectives of the study were: (a) to evaluate the effect of vitamin A supplementation on boars? diet considering the parameters: volume, motility, spermatic vigor, seminal pH, spermatic concentration, total number of spermatozoa, percentage of living sperm cells and morphologic abnormalities during one year; (b) to investigate the variability founded against the temperature and seasons of the year on vitamin A supplemented animals seminal parameters. The research was developed in the Laboratory of Research in Swines, the FMVZUSP, using 10 boars of hybrid lineages. Two treatments were used having the control (level of 25.000 UI of vitamin A/animal/day) and vitamin A supplemented group (level of 40.000 UI of vitamin A/animal/day). The statistical design was random, with repeated measured in time. The analyzed data used was the statistical program Statistical Analysis System (SAS). The probabilities of the interactions in time were determined by Greenhouse-Geisser Epsilon test, considering the significant level 5%. None of the evaluated parameters was significantly different and no detected interaction in time was found treatment. In relation to the effects of the vitamin A on supplementation in one year period it wasn?t have differences among treatments on seminal parameters, and also there wasn?t interaction in time and at treatment, however for pH, spermatic concentration, total number of spermatozoa, percentage of living sperm cells and morphologic abnormalities it was detected effect on time. In relation to the variability there wasn?t treatment effect, however there was for all the parameters studied effect of the season. The effect of temperature was only for the percentage of living sperm cells, pH and morphologic abnormalities. It was concluded that at a given metabolic condition of the hybrid animals, new ascertainments must be inquired for the relation nutrition and reproduction, a time that, the positive effect of the suplementation of the vitamin in spermatogenesis had been evidenced, mainly in the characteristics that more become related with the formation of the espermática cell.
