چکیده

Testicular parameters and morphological characteristics of testicular and epididymal spermatozoa of white Fulani bulls were study using twenty testicles. The objective was to study the normal testicular parameter and morphological changes during epididymal transit in the epididymis of white Fulani bulls. It was observed that there was reduction in the proportion of spermatozoa carrying the proximal cytoplasmic droplet (PCD) along the epididymis as spermatozoa mature. There were more narrow head in the left (0.40) than the right epididymis (0.10). There was more bent normal tail (16.7) in the left epididymis than in right epididymis (13.0). The sperm cells having looped tails are higher in the left epididymis (caput, 4.90; corpus, 5.30; caudal 4.30) than the right epididymis (caput, 4.70; corpus, 3.20; caudal 5.10) despite the fact that the caudal epididymis in the right epididymis has a higher mean value. In this study the left testicle had more of the morphologically defective spermatozoa (12.96%) than the right testicles (12.42%).

A comparative study of testicular biometry was done in rams using three major breeds of sheep in Nigeria. Biometrical parameters observed were scrotal circumference (SC), testes weight (TW), testes length (TL), tunica albuginea weight (TAW), testes volume (TV), testes density (TD), epididymal weight (EW), epididymal length (EL), caput (CA), corpus (CO), cauda weight (CU), epididymal volume (EV)...

Body Measurement of Red Sokoto Bucks in Nigeria and Their Relationship with Testicular Biometrics

Ninety Red Sokoto bucks were used to assess the relationship between body, testicular and epididymal measurements in three age groups (group 1: 7-12 months; group 2: between 1 and 2 years and group 3: older than 2 years). The effect of age on body and testicular / epididymal measurements was analyzed. A predictive model was developed for each of the testicular / epididymal measurements using li...
