Testicular thermoregulation in Bos indicus ‚ crossbred and Bos taurus bulls: relationship with scrotal‚ testicular vascular cone and testicular morphology‚ and effects on semen quality and sperm production
Leonardo F.C. Brito,Antonio Emidio Dias Feliciano Silva,Antonio Emidio Dias Feliciano Silva,Rogério Taveira Barbosa,John P. Kastelic +4 more
TL;DR: Morphology of the TVC may contribute to the greater resistance of B. indicus bulls to high ambient temperatures by conferring a better testicular blood supply and by facilitating heat transfer between the testicular artery and veins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of environmental factors, age and genotype on sperm production and semen quality in Bos indicus and Bos taurus AI bulls in Brazil.
Leonardo F.C. Brito,Antonio Emidio Dias Feliciano Silva,L. H. Rodrigues,Flaviana Vieira,L.A.G. Deragon,John P. Kastelic +5 more
TL;DR: Neither ambient temperature and humidity nor month (season) significantly affected sperm production and semen quality in AI bulls in Brazil, probably because there was little variation in these variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual development in early- and late-maturing Bos indicus and Bos indicus × Bos taurus crossbred bulls in Brazil
Leonardo F.C. Brito,Antonio Emidio Dias Feliciano Silva,Maria Marina Unanian,Margot Alves Nunes Dode,Rogério Taveira Barbosa,John P. Kastelic +5 more
TL;DR: Early-maturing bulls were more developed in the pre-pubertal period and attained puberty at earlier stages of body and testicular development than late-matured bulls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of age and genetic group on characteristics of the scrotum, testes and testicular vascular cones, and on sperm production and semen quality in AI bulls in Brazil
Leonardo F.C. Brito,Antonio Emidio Dias Feliciano Silva,L. H. Rodrigues,Flaviana Vieira,L.A.G. Deragon,John P. Kastelic +5 more
TL;DR: Age and genetic group affected the characteristics of the scrotum, testes, and TVC, sperm production and semen quality in bulls and could be assessed for breeding soundness evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of scrotal insulation on sperm production, semen quality, and testicular echotexture in Bos indicus and Bos indicus × Bos taurus bulls
Leonardo F.C. Brito,Antonio Emidio Dias Feliciano Silva,Rogério Taveira Barbosa,Maria Marina Unanian,John P. Kastelic +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of scrotal insulation on sperm production, semen quality, and testicular echotexture in Bos indicus and Bos taurus crossbred bulls were evaluated.
