“…The Nigerian Yankasa rams are typically tall, exceeding a height of 50 to 70 cm at the withers and weigh 30 to 50kg with an outstanding sexual agility, hence they have been widely used for artificial insemination programs (Osinowo, 2006). Several aspects of the reproductive physiology of rams have been documented (Iheukwumere et al, 2001; Ahemen and Bitto, 2007). Measurable traits such as scrotal dimensions, sperm production rate, gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves have been extensively studied in some Nigerian breeds (Iliyasu et al .,2014;Kwari and Waziri, 2001;Ahemen and Bitto, 2007;Oyeyemi and Ubiogoro, 2005;Oyeyemi and Babalola, 2006;Obidike et al, 2007;Britto et al,2002;Britto et al,2006).…”

Three groups of 6 healthy mature Yankasa rams aged 2.0 to 2.6 years weighing between 30.50 and 30.60kg were used to determine the effect of Pergonal ® on daily sperm output, gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves. The rams were assigned to either 49.50 i.u (T2), 99.00 i.u (T3) or 148.50 i.u (T4) Pergonal ® injections (Ferring Labs, USA) each divided into 3 doses and administered for 3 consecutive days according to the manufacturer's prescription. Another group of 6 rams was given normal saline (1ml) during the same period to serve as control (T1). All treatments were given to study the effect of the drug on daily sperm output, gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves. All the treatments were given by intra-muscular injection. The results showed significant differences (P>0.05) among the treatment groups in daily sperm output, (x10 9) daily sperm output per gram testis (x10 9), gonadal sperm reserve (x10 9), caput sperm reserve (x10 8), corpus sperm reserve (x10 8), cauda sperm reserve (x10 8) and vas deferens sperm reserve (x10 8). High correlations were observed between testis weight, caput weight and daily sperm output, gonadal sperm reserve, daily sperm output per gram testis, between caput weight, corpus weight, cauda weight and cauda sperm reserve. The results of this study suggest that the daily sperm output, daily sperm output per gram testis, gonadal, caput, corpus, cauda and vas deferens sperm reserves would be improved when 99.00 i.u of Pergonal ® is used for induction of spermatogenesis in Yankasa rams.

“…USA (also known as Humegon or Mentrophin and with similar constituents as plusset (R) ). It is a gonadotrophin preparation lyophilized in vials containing a mixture of gonadotrophins consisting of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in a ratio 1:1 (Iheukwumere et al, 2004). Follicle stimulating hormone and LH present in Pergonal (R) play vital roles in the initiation of spermatogenesis (Egu, 2016).…”

Sixteen healthy West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks aged 2.0 to 2.6 years, weighing between 8.50 kg and 8.52 kg were used to study the effect of gonadotrophin (Pergonal®) on semen characteristic, hormonal profile and biochemical constituents of the seminal plasma. The 16 WAD bucks were divided into 4 treatment groups. Each treatment group consisted of 4 bucks with one buck per replicate in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 levels of Pergonal® as treatment. The levels of Pergonal® were 0.00 i.u (T1), 9.00 i.u (T2), 18.00 i.u (T3), and 27.00 i.u (T4) Pergonal® injections (Ferring Labs USA). The group which contained no Pergonal® served as the control (T1), administered with 1.00 ml physiological saline. All the treatments were given by intramuscular injections. The results showed significant differences (P0.05) among the treatment groups in all the parameters for semen quality: semen volume, mass motility, semen pH, individual motility, sperm concentration, proportion of live, normal and dead sperm cells. The results further showed that there were significant differences (P0.05) among the treatment groups in luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone levels in the serum. Similarly, the results showed that there were significant differences (P0.05) among the treatment groups in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, fructose, bicarbonate, urea, Ascobic acid and citric acid in the seminal plasma. The results of this study showed that Pergonal (R) enhanced semen quality and was not detrimental to the hormonal profile and biochemical constituents of the seminal plasma of the WAD bucks.

“…Haematological and serum biochemical parameters provide valuable information on the health status of animals and also reflect an animal's responsiveness to its internal and external environment (Esonu et al, 2001; Anyaehie and Madubuike, 2004). The effects of such steroid hormones as androgens and estrogens on haematological values are well documented (Iheukwumere et al, 2004). Though studies have been conducted on the haematological parameters of Nigerian domestic chickens (Ikhimioya et a.,2000;Iheukwumereet al, 2008), there is no information on the effect of human menopausal gonadotrophin (Diclair ® ) on such parameters in Harco cocks.…”
