Abstract: -This work aimed to investigate the relationship between echogenicity, testicular biometry, and accessory gland biometry and evaluate the echogenicity pattern of these structures in Santa Ines rams. Fifty-four healthy Santa Ines sheep were classified into three age groups: group 1 -3 to 5 months (pre-pubertal); group 2 -7 to 11 months (pubertal); and group 3 -13 to 28 months (sexually mature). The averages of testicular biometry and bulbourethral gland biometry were different among age groups. The testicular p… Show more

“…The ultrasound measurement of different testicular diameters is commonly used for reproductive assessment of rams but the obtained results are rather various. The insignificant difference in the transversal diameters between right and left testis of the same animal in both groups was in line with the study of Ribeiro et al (2017), as well as earlier data for a highly symmetrical manner of testicular development in rams (Chandolia et al, 1997). The significantly (P<0.05) higher transversal diameters of the testes in postpubertal rams and the positive correlations (R≥0.87; P<0.05) of TTD with age, BW and SC were comparable to the testicular sizes measured in immature and mature Awassi rams (Saaed and Zaid, 2018).…”

“…This result was consistent with data reported by Camela et al (2019). However, the means for LTPE, RTPE and TTPE in postpubertal Pleven Blackhead rams were lower than values (87.57 ± 12.06; 85.98 ± 12 and 86.78 ± 10.49) registered for the same findings in Santa Ines rams (Ribeiro et al, 2017).…”
