Development of Mammary Glands and Infertility in an Adult Male Goat
نویسنده
چکیده
Infertility is a major problem affecting the reproductive performance of domestic animals. In the male goats, testicular degeneration appears to be a common cause of poor semen quality and infertility (Fraser, 1971; Mathai and Ramachandran, 1978; Refsal et al., 1983). Besides infectious causes, a number of non-infectious agents can cause testicular degeneration in male goats. These include excessive heat or cold, radiation, high frequency ultrasound, nutritional disorders, injuries etc (McEntee, 1990). In this article, the probable role of abnormally developed mammary glands in causing testicular degeneration and infertility in an adult male goat is described.
