Summary Immunoelectrophoretic methods were used to observe the formation of precipitates with esterase activity in the blood serum, spermatozoa and the genital tract fluid of bulls, and also in the follicular fluid of cows. Fractions with esterase activity were found in the seminal vesicle fluid and the ampullar fluid of all investigated animals. Considerable individual differences in the formation of precipitates with esterase activity were found in the mentioned fluids. Ejaculated and ampullar spermatozoa, spermatozoa from the tail of the epididymis and the testicle fluid formed fractions with esterase activity only in some individuals. Esterase activity was not detected in the fluid of the tail of the epididymis of bulls nor in the follicular fluid of cows.
