A Cowper gland (also called a bulbourethral gland) is one of two small exocrine glands in the reproductive system of most male mammals. they are each about the size of a pea in humans, located below the prostate gland, which secrete as part of the ejaculate a clear fluid which helps lubricate the urethra.

What is the function of the cowpers?

The Cowpers gland (bulbourethral gland) is a male sexual gland. It provides fluid to lubricate and clean the lower urethra, which may have residue left from its use during urination. During sexual arousal each gland produces a clear, viscous secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, remaining in the urethral bulb from previous ejaculations, and carry them out prior to the next ejaculation.

What effect does a vasectomy have on semen volume considering the percentage that sperm cells contribute to the total volume of semen?

Sperm make up a tiny volume of semen, but the testes still do produce some seminal fluids. After a vasectomy, you'll probably have less volume, but it probably won't be noticeable. The prostate gland, and cowpers gland are still fully active and connected post vasectomy, and they make the bulk of semen. It's the removal of the prostate that effects volume the most. After it's removal, many men experience "dry" orgasm.
