    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Mycology
    • Animal Reproduction

    Background:

    • Mycelial yeasts can impact animal health and reproductive success.
    • Bovine semen quality is crucial for artificial insemination programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and species of mycelial yeasts in bull semen.
    • To identify common yeast species affecting bovine reproductive samples.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 129 semen samples from 62 bulls.
    • Isolation and identification of mycelial yeast species.
    • Microbiological examination of semen for fungal presence.

    Main Results:

    • Mycelial yeasts were detected in semen from 30 out of 62 bulls (48.4%).
    • Nine different species of mycelial yeasts were isolated.

  • Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis were the most frequently identified species.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mycelial yeasts are present in a significant proportion of bull semen samples.
    • Specific yeast species like Candida parapsilosis and C. tropicalis are commonly found in bovine semen.
    • Further research may be warranted to understand the impact of these yeasts on bull fertility.
