Animal production systems usually use fewer breeding males than females (Fitzgerald & Morgan, 2007). Breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) is recommended to assess breeding potential in farm animals (Hedia et al., 2020a;Palacios et al., 2016). BSE consists of several orders of examinations starting with traditional physical examination, clinical examination of various body vital systems (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, locomotor and reproductive system) and evaluation of semen. Recently, the massive production systems are interested in application of more advanced techniques to broadly assess the breeding quality of the males. In addition, these systems are looking forward to establish a definite protocol for replacing the males found to have a lower breeding efficiency with other males of high reproductive merits. Several studies aimed to investigate the possible effect of ageing on the different andrological levels and to detect the optimal age of replacing the reproductively minor rams
