Maturação sexual e parâmetros reprodutivos em touros da raça Nelore criados em sistema extensivo

Abstract: RESUMO -Objetivou-se verificar o estágio de maturidade sexual, a ocorrência do formato testicular e a relação entre características reprodutivas de tourinhos da raça Nelore. Foram utilizados 5.903 touros com média de 21 meses de idade submetidos a exame andrológico entre os anos de 1999 e 2003. Na ocasião do exame, foram registradas as seguintes características: perímetro escrotal (31,99 ± 2,23 cm), comprimentos testiculares esquerdo (11,21 ± 0,98 cm) e direito (11,26 ± 0,97 cm), larguras testiculares esquerda… Show more

“…Still, in 2008, the higher prevalence of long testicular shapes (long, fairly long and oval-long) over the spherical shapes (spherical-oval and oval) ( There was a change in testicular shape between years, and decreased from fairly long shape; and increase in long shape, at the same rate until the year 2004, but long formats continued prevalent in the population. These results corroborate other studies on prevalence of testicular elongated shapes in zebu (Vasconcelos et al, 2003;Dias et al, 2007;Silva, 2009;Silveira et al, 2010), condition credited to the adaptive capacity of this subspecies in tropical conditions (Caldas et al, 1999).…”

“…There was less scrotal circumference for shapes long, fairly long and oval-long (31.49±2.17, 32.48±2.43 and 33.38±2.41 cm, respectively) than for the spherical-long and spherical shapes (34.74±2.44 and 33.65±1.63 cm, respectively; P<0.05; Table 3), demonstrating that animals with elongated testicular shapes have a lower scrotal circumference than animals with testicles more rounded, as reported by Bailey et al (1996) and Unanian et al (2000). Similar results were observed by Dias et al (2007) in Nellore cattle at two and three years old.…”
