چکیده
quality semen can be produced ulls of any age, but recovery in 3-6 months was found in nearly half of such bulls that could be retested. Semen samples were obtained from 460 bulls 15-24 months of age, from 53 bulls 3 6 years of age, and from 12 bulls 2-6 years of age, used for breeding. The test on the first two groups is recorded in the table in the first and second columns. Of the 460 young bulls, 37-about 8'i/c-produced semen that would indiroductive efficiency of 30% or

The semen quality during the low (May-July) and the peak (September-November) breeding seasons in 18 Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls varying in age from 3 to 15 years was studied. Ejaculatory volume was higher (P < 0.05) in adult (3.03 ± 0.13 ml) and old (2.86 ± 0.13 ml) than young (2.51 ± 0.11 ml) bulls and during the low (3.44 ± 0.11 ml) than the peak (2.57 ± 0.90 ml) breeding season. Mass activity o...

A total of 218 yearling Hereford, Angus, Santa Gertrudis and Brahman bulls was evaluated for semen traits and testieular volume at average ages of 16 and 20 months in April and August, respectively, during 2 successive years. Brahman bulls reached puberty at a later age than bulls of the Santa Gertrudis, Hereford and Angus breeds. Santa Gertrudis bulls had the largest testes with the Brahman ha...
