“…Dada et al (2019) reported impact of dietary inclusion of Prunus amygdalusdulcis on sperm quality in Clarias gariepinus, such as spermatozoa concentration, percentage motility, milt volume and motility duration. Several studies (Daramola et al, 2015;Suresh et al, 2009) reported that Mucuna pruriens seed extracts enhance reproductive performance in animals. Seed of this herb contains oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid (Adebowale et al 2005), allegedly having aphrodisiac activities (Suresh et al, 2009).…”

The present study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation of root powder of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), flower powder of Butea monosperma, seed powder of Mucuna pruriens and dried powder of Jaiphal (Myristica fragrans) on gonadal maturity and milt quality in male brood stock of commercially important indigenous coldwater fish, snow trout, Schizothorax richardsonii in captive condition. Experimental fish of 3 years age were reared in FRP tanks (n=6) of 1200 L capacity with stocking density of n=60 in each tank and fed with control (CD) and experimental (TD) diets in duplicate at the feeding rate of 3-5% of their body weight twice a day. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) and Hepatosomatic index (HSI) were recorded for annual breeding cycle coupled with breeding indices and sperm density in breeding season along with regular monitoring of water quality parameters. In males, the GSI values ranges from 0.49 to 7.92 and 0.85 to 11.83 in control and treated groups, respectively. Two peaks of GSI values reflects the two breeding season of the species during the month of March and September. Similarly, HSI values vary from 0.41% to 0.52% and 0.44% to 0.58% in control and treated groups, respectively. In captive condition, 92% specimen were observed mature for spawning in treated group, while only 32% males were ready to oozing the milt in control stock. The fertilization rate (September 2019) was observed as 94.2% in treated group, while it was 86% in control group.The mean value of sperm count per ml. of milt (September 2019) was 3.64±0.66×10 8 /ml in control group and 4.44±0.64×10 8 /ml in treated group. The study revealed that 1.0 % supplementation of blend of herbs in the diet is beneficial for gonadal maturity in males and quality milt production of Schizothorax richardsonii in captivity under coldwater condition.

“…Larger testes (without any abnormality) have been reported to produce more spermatozoa than smaller testes (Oyeyemi et al, 2002;Galmessa et al, 2003;Britto et al, 2004;de Soya, 2007). Testes weight had been reported to be positively correlated with sperm volume, mass motility, sperm concentration, and testosterone but negatively correlated with dead sperm cell and primary abnormality in male goat (Johnson et al, 1984;Rahja et al, 1995;Daramola et al, 2007). The positive effect of 50 mg/kg S. longepedunculata on the testes morphometry may have been contributed by its antimicrobial, antioxidant and aphrodisiac properties.…”

The aim of this work was to determine the effect of the root-bark extract of Securidaca longepedunculata in the improvement of fertility in buck rabbits as envisioned by morphometric indices of the testes. Testicular morphometry of New Zealand rabbits was studied following treatment with different doses of the extract. The extract was administered per os in three doses of 0, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight to three treatment groups of rabbits A, B, and C respectively for 29 days in a completely randomized designed (CRD). Eighteen mature buck rabbits between the ages of 18 and 24 months and with initial body weight (1.1 to 1.9 kg) were used. Each group comprised of three rabbits replicated twice. After the period of treatment, rabbits were weighed and sacrificed. Mean absolute paired testes weight, testes length and testes width were obtained and expressed relative to body weight at sacrifice. The results showed a significant difference in the mean relative paired testes weight, testes length and testes width between groups (p<0.05). The treated group given 50 mg/kg body weight of the extract had the highest mean absolute and relative paired testes weight of 3.325 ± 0.1349 a g and 0.2098 ± 0.0139 a % with mean absolute and relative testes length of 2.4522 ± 0.0250 a cm and 0.1538 ± 0.0040 a %. While the group given 100 mg/kg body weight of the extract had the lowest values of 2.634 ± 0.2762 b g and 0.1565 ± 0.0124 b % with mean absolute and relative paired testes length of 2.1600 ± 0.0807 b cm and 0.1299 ± 0.0039 b % respectively. It was concluded that administration of the extract at 50 mg/kg body weight yielded higher testicular parameters of buck rabbits. It was recommended that the use of the extract in bucks should be done with caution in relation to dose and length of treatment and that a detailed research should be carried out to evaluate the semen quality of bucks treated with 50 mg/kg the extract.

“…Body weight in both groups was evaluated weekly from the 18th to 38th week of age (Ramukhithi et al., 2017). The pubertal age of bucks was defined based on the detection of first spermatozoa in ejaculates (Bezerra et al., 2009; Daramola et al., 2007). Scrotal circumference and testicular volume of bucks were measured weekly from the 18th to 38th week of age.…”

“…When a buck exhibited intense sexual activities and penile erection, the semen was collected using an artificial vagina (42°C). The fresh undiluted semen was evaluated under the microscope (400X; Olympus ® , Tokyo, Japan) for the presence of any spermatozoa as an indication of puberty (Bezerra et al., 2009; Daramola et al., 2007).…”

The current study evaluates the effects of early (8th week) and late (16th week of age) weaning of male goat kids on their body growth, testicular growth, sexual behavior, plasma testosterone concentration, and pubertal age. Early (n = 6) and late (n = 7) weaned Beetal bucks were weekly monitored from 18th to 38th week for their body weight, scrotal circumference, testicular volume, testicular echogenicity (via ultrasonography), sexual activities, and plasma testosterone concentration. In comparison to early-weaned, late-weaned bucks showed a marked increase (p < .05) in body
