Environmental pollutants may influence male reproductive function. Heavy metals such as lead and cadmium are abundant environmental toxicants. The purpose of this study was to determine copper, iron, lead, zinc and cadmium concentration in the semen of Arabian stallions during breeding season, and to find correlation of these elements with conventional semen parameters.
