Relationship between bull signalment and testicular attributes in a Kenyan bull station

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of Nairobi

Abstract

SC is significantly affected by age and body weight. The mean SC was higher in the <i>Bos indicus</i>, but this finding is only indicative because the Sahiwal and Boran sample sizes were small. Notably, the prevalence of hyperechoic testicular foci following trans-scrotal ultrasonography was common in older bulls. However, there is a need to further elucidate this phenomenon's pathophysiology with age as the etiology and possible sequelae of semen quality.
