“…The overall correlation coefficient results of the scrotal circumference and semen volume are in the moderate category (r = 0,328; p < 0,05). This result is in line with Devkota (2008), Adamczyk et al (2013), Prayogo et al (2013), Muthiapriani et al (2019), and Mahendra et al (2022, who reported that there was a positive relationship between scrotal circumference and semen concentration with moderate category. However, unlike the research of Teixeira et al (2011), Gopinathan et al (2016), and Indriastuti et al (2020, which found a negative relationship between the two variables.…”

This meta-analysis review was conducted to determine the relationship between scrotal circumference and semen production quality in bulls. The research method includes article search, selection, and assessment stages based on the specified inclusion criteria. The results of the selection and assessment of articles obtained 38 articles for meta-analysis. Data analysis was performed using the CMA program using a random-effects model to estimate the correlation coefficient. The results of the meta-analysis showed that overall scrotal circumference was significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with semen volume (r = 0.441), semen concentration (r = 0.328), and spermatozoa motility (r = 0.411). The relationship between scrotal circumference and semen quality was positive in the moderate category. Analysis based on the variation of bull breeds showed that the relationship between scrotal circumference and semen volume and concentration was not significantly different in Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and Bos sondaicus cattle (p > 0.05). Scrotal circumference and spermatozoa motility were significantly different in the Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and Bos sondaicus cattle (p < 0.05). This meta-analysis confirms that scrotal circumference can be a parameter in determining superior bulls because the scrotal circumference is positively related to the quality of semen production.

The present study was undertaken to compare the performance of 8 (eight) breeding bulls of three different genetic groups such as Brahman × local (4 bulls), Holstein Friesian × local (2 bulls) and Red Chittagong (2 bulls) based on libido, semen quality and fertility. Semen parameters were evaluated from 30 ejaculates from each bull and fertility rate was calculated based on 60-days non-return rate via AI using these semen samples. Genetic group of breeding bulls had significant (p<0.05) effect on libido. Holstein Friesian cross breeding bulls showed significantly (p<0.05) highest libido (3.77±0.15) followed by Brahman cross (3.38±0.07) and lowest in Red Chittagong (RC) breeding bulls (2.96±0.11). Semen attributes also significantly affected by the different genetic group of bulls. Holstein Friesian crossbred breeding bulls with highest libido provided significantly (p<0.01) highest volume of semen (5.63±0.16 ml) per ejaculate, progressive motility (74.73±0.76%), live sperm (84.18±0.62%) and normal sperm (83.18±1.47%) whereas these parameters were significantly (p<0.01) lowest in RC breeding bulls. Moreover, libido showed a strong and positive correlation with all these semen parameters. The fertility rate was also significantly highest (p<0.05) in Holstein Friesian crossbred breeding bull (63.67±1.46%), followed by Brahman crossbred (58.86±1.05%) and lowest in RC breeding bulls (53.42±0.85%). These results suggested that semen quality is positively correlated with the libido of breeding bulls and quality is important for higher fertility. Therefore, libido as well as semen quality evaluation may be important criteria to discard the breeding bulls with poor fertility in an AI program. Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2018. 47 (2): 61-67

“…Similarly, variation has been observed among bulls on sperm concentration by various researchers. For instance, Adamczyk et al, (2013) and Alemayehu and Tena (2015) at different places reported significant differences in semen concentrations between different breeds. A lack of significant variation has been reported as well by several researchers including Boujenane and Boussaq (2014).…”

The success or failure of artificial insemination (AI) depends on the quality of semen used. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of breed, age, collection period, and ejaculate number on semen quality collected from 15 breeding bulls available at the centre with different ages (4 Friesian, 4 Ayrshire, 3 Jersey, 2 Simmental and 2 Boran breeds) maintained at National Artificial Insemination Center (NAIC), Arusha, Tanzania. A total of 600 ejaculates were collected for four weeks per month consecutively from January to May 2022, weekly per bull and twice a day; morning (6.00 - 9.00 AM) and evening (3.00 - 6.00 PM) sessions). The ejaculates were first examined visually for volume, color, foreign bodies, and consistency whereas sperm concentration (SPC), progressive motility (PM) and total motility (TM) were assessed using Computer Assisted Semen Analysis System (CASA). Viability/vitality (SPVI) and morphology (SPNR) of sperms were analyzed microscopically after staining with Eosin-Nigrosin. Data were subjected to SAS program and results showed that ejaculate volume, progressive motility, total motility, sperm viability, and morphology were significantly (P<0.05) affected by age and collection period. Simmental, Friesian, and Ayrshire bulls produced more voluminous semen than Jersey and Boran bulls. Jersey bulls had higher (P<0.05) sperm concentrations and live spermatozoa as compared to other bulls. Boran and Jersey's bulls exhibited higher PM and TM than the other bulls. The period of semen collection (morning versus evening) negatively affected semen volume, total motility, and semen viability in which morning harvests performed better than evening collections. Middle aged bulls (3-5 years) produced semen of higher quality compared to other groups (< 3 years and > 5 years old bulls). In conclusion, age, breed, period of semen production and ejaculate number revealed significant effect on bovine semen characteristics.
