Background: Micronutrients have a well-established role in the productive and reproductive health of animals, and there are many proven benefits of supplementing them in the diet of bulls or semen extender per se. Trace minerals have a key role in regulating male fertility and sperm function. Methodology: Twelve crossbred bulls were divided into two groups (n = 6): T1 (control) and T2, (BullTraMin) and given diets with or without supranutritional supplementation of the novel trace mineral (BullTraMin), respectively. The experiment was conducted for 120 days and the effects on nutrient utilization, immuno-endocrine status, sexual behaviour and semen characteristics were investigated.
