Data analysis in goat production, such as those related to body and scrotal measurements, indicate the productive reproductive animal development. The current study aimed evaluate correlations between thoracic perimeter (TP), length (BL), compacity (BC), volume (BV), circumference (SC) with weight (BW) young male goats of Saanen Boer breeds. It was used 38 24 goats, age average 7.2 ± 2.0 months...

The study examined the effects of plane nutrition and rearing method on growth rate, increase in scrotal size; age, body weight circumference at puberty, Yankasa ram lambs. Thirty-six lambs 18 ewe with mean age 1453±17.7 days 10.1 1±2.6kg respectively were used for four-month trial. Animalswere randomised a 3x2 factorial design 3 levels (low, medium high) 2 (males alone mixture males females). ...

The short-term effect of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) vaccine was evaluated in ten adult male dogs with mean weight of 8.0±1.2 kg, and age ranging between 1 and 3 years. The first group (control) comprised five intact dogs treated with normal saline, while the second group included five dogs treated with a single subcutaneous injection of 400 μg GnRH vaccine. Semen was obtained from t...

Sixteen (mean age = 1.1 +/- 0.1 yr; mean BW = 478 +/- 34 kg) Brahman-influenced bulls were used to determine the influence of fescue type on sperm characteristics and serum concentrations of prolactin, cortisol, and testosterone. Bulls were blocked by BW, scrotal circumference (SC), and pregrazing sperm characteristics and randomly assigned to graze toxic endophyte-infected (EI; 4 bulls/pasture...

PURPOSE Scrotal calculi are rare, and their clinical significance is uncertain. Scrotal pain is a frequent, hard-to-manage problem in urology clinics. Our purpose in this study was to determine the relationship between the presence of scrotal calculi and scrotal pain in a prospective manner. METHODS Sonography and color Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum were performed in 758 consecutive patie...

To determine the effects of location and season on growth of bulls, Hereford bulls from Montana (MH; n = 15) and Nebraska (NH; n = 15) and Brahman bulls from Texas and Louisiana (BB; n = 18) were moved to three locations: Montana (MT), Nebraska (NE) or Texas (TX). Each location received 5 NH, 5 MH and 6 BB. Control bulls (not relocated) were maintained at each location. All bulls were pubertal ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible use of biometric testicular traits as selection criteria for young Nellore bulls using Bayesian inference to estimate heritability coefficients and genetic correlations. Multitrait analysis was performed including 17,211 records of scrotal circumference obtained during andrological assessment (SCAND) and 15,313 records of testicular volum...
