This study was aimed at determining the blood serum testosterone level and its relationship with scrotal circumference and physical characteristics of semen in Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls. Semen samples were collected weekly from three buffalo bulls of 14 years age for 12 weeks and were evaluated for physical characteristics i.e. ejaculatory volume, sperm motility, sperm concentration, pH and sperm...

Aim: Present investigation was carried out to study the physical characteristics of Kankrej bulls semen by evaluation of various semen parameters from neat semen and at various stages of semen preservation. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 ejaculates, 10 each from 6 mature Kankrej bulls, once in a week for 10 weeks, were collected and analyzed for various semen attributes. Result: The mean ...

Semen from 5210 sperm bank donors was analyzed and trends in semen quality were evaluated at Shandong Human Sperm Bank between 2008 and 2014. After 2-7 days of abstinence, semen samples were collected. Measurements of semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm forward motility, and total sperm count were performed. There were significant declining trends in semen volume, sperm concentration, sper...

The aim of the present study was to determine seasonal variations in semen characteristics, testicular size, and plasma testosterone concentration in Iranian Khalkhali goats. An artificial vagina was used to collect semen from 10 bucks (2–4 years of age), from November 2013 to October 2014. Testicular circumference was higher (P<0.05) from September to October. Ejaculate volume, sperm ...

semen quality and its relationship to fertility are major concern in animal production. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between frozen thawed sperm characteristics and fertility following in vivo fertility through artificial insemination(ai). semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls. semen volume and sperm concentration appeared to be significantly different (p0...

Background: Declines in semen quality over time are not well understood. It is suspected that infectious disease may affect reproductive function. The aim of this study was to investigate semen quality in men in infertile relationships who were under investigation for couple infertility and attended a clinic for routine semen analysis over a period of 15years. Materials and Methods: We investig...
