The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between testicular echotexture and seminal quality, in addition to evaluate the testicular parenchyma echogenicity pattern in young Montana bulls classified as sound and unsound for breeding. Fifty-two young Montana Tropical Compound bulls from 22 to 33 months of age were used. The animals were previously evaluated by breeding soundness evaluation and thereafter divided into two groups of breeding soundness classes: 1 = 16 animals sound for breeding; 2 = 36 […]

The aim of the review is to show the major scientific advances achieved in the animal reproduction area and how they can affect the productive and reproductive performance of cattle in Brazil. The knowledge about the mechanisms involved in the reproductive physiology control, in endocrine, cellular and molecular level allowed the development of reproductive biotechnologies. Among these the TAI has been used in large scale, with some advantages such as the multiplication of genetically superior animals, increasing on birth rate […]
