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

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.

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.
