RESUMO

The objective of this study was to evaluate the framework sperm and protein seminal plasma and endocrine profile in deer bred in captivity. Four males aged between 12 and 36 months were evaluated. In four times at intervals of seven days, gave the weight (60.5 to 89.0 kg) and body mass index (93.07 kg/m2 to 126.56 kg/m2). There were four semen samples per animal, with an interval of seven days, by electroejaculation. Gave the fallowing values: ejaculate volume (0.50 0.35 ml to 0.75 0.28 ml), motility (87.75 4.78% to 90.00 7.07%) total defects (17.25 5.81% and 47.72 17.55%) and plasma testosterone (6.43 4.33 ng/dL at 166.00 64.48 ng/dL). Electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE revealed protein bands between 7.6 kDa and 142 kDa. Seminal plasma showed a wide range of proteins between 7.6 kDa and 142 kDa. Age influences the testosterone concentration, being higher in the range of 36 months.
