Serum transminases and phosphatases were assayed in fertile and infertile cattle and
buffalo bulls. Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) did not differ significantly in
relation to fertility and species. Serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) was higher
in infertile than fertile bulls in both the species. The values were higher in cattle than buffalo
bulls. The differences were non-significant. Acid phosphatase did not differ significantly in
relation to fertility though the value was 20.28 per cent higher in infertile buffalo bulls. Higher
values were obtained in buffalo (3.85±0.68 KA units) compared to cattle 1.91±0.51 KA units).
Alkaline phosphatase was higher by 90.99 per cent in cattle and 44.67 per cent in buffalo
infertile bulls. The values were significantly (P
