Testosterone levels to the body weight, relative and absolute testes weights, tunica albuginea thickness, germinative epithelium height, diameter and meiosis picture numbers of seminiferous tubules of 65 male quails were evaluated from June to October. The birds were grouped in cages (6 birds/cage) and lodged in a shed during all experimental period. The testis morphometric analysis was carried out from 60 days to 180 days old. The total testosterone plasmatic levels were dosed by radioimmunoassay method with antibody radioactivity marked. […]
