In 960 Nellore purebred bulls, of 11.4 to 135 months of age, belonging to farms located in the São Paulo, Goiás and Para states, was studied the possible association among the size of the scrotal circumference (CE) and sperm quality parameters, progressive motility (MOT) and sperm pathologies: the major (DEFMAI), minor (DEFMIN) and total (DEFTOT) defects. The bulls were divided by age in groups: minor than 18, from 18 to 24, from 24 to 30, from 30 to 36 and […]
