Sexual rest (SR) in bulls leads to the accumulation of senescent spermatozoa in the extragonadal reserves, potentially affecting semen quality and reproductive efficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of SR on the seminal plasma proteome and oxidative status of Nellore bulls. Six adult bulls were subjected to 195 days of SR and sequential semen collections using the electroejaculation method. The ejaculates were analyzed to assess sperm quality. Seminal plasma from the first and last ejaculates was evaluated for oxidative status and proteomic profile using LC-MS. The results revealed significant improvements in sperm motility, vigor, and antioxidant enzyme activity (superoxide dismutase and catalase) in the last ejaculate compared to the first. Conversely, higher levels of oxidative markers, such as malondialdehyde and carbonyl proteins, were observed in the first ejaculate. Proteomic analysis identified 156 proteins, with 28 differentially abundant between ejaculates. The first ejaculate showed a higher abundance of proteins linked to acrosomal exocytosis and energy metabolism, while proteins associated with sperm motility and immune modulation were elevated in the last ejaculate. These findings suggest that SR induces oxidative stress and proteomic alterations in seminal plasma, negatively affecting sperm quality, emphasizing the need for strategic reproductive management in bulls.
