“…The lowest value in cauda weight 8.36 g was observed in rams on T1. The cauda weight values obtained in this study were higher than the mean value of 8.00  0.07 g reported by Iheukwumere et al (2008) in Nigerian Yankasa rams. This suggested that Pergonal administration enhanced the development of the body of the epididymis in the treated animals.…”

“…The lowest value in caput weight was observed in rams on T1 (5.14 g). The highest caput weight value obtained in this study was higher than the mean value of 8.54  0.2 g reported by Iheukwumere et al (2008) in Nigerian Yankasa rams of similar ages. This disparity may not be unconnected to the nutritional status of the Ouda rams and drug administration.…”

“…Rams on T3 recorded the highest value in scrotal circumference 24.00 cm and this differed significantly (P<0.05) from rams on T1 and T2 which were also significantly different (P<0.05) from each other. The highest value in scrotal circumference obtained in this study (24.00 cm) was lower than the mean value of 29.50 cm reported by Muhammed et al (2016) in Ouda rams, but higher than the mean value of 22.40 ± 0.54 reported by Iheukwumere et al (2008) in Yankasa rams of similar ages. This disparity may not be unconnected to the differences in environment and nutritional status of the Ouda rams.…”

“…The lowest value was observed in rams on T1. The highest testicular sperm reserve value obtained in this study (19.25 x 10 9 ) was higher than the range 12.15  1.50 to 17.45 1.64 (x10 9 ) reported by Iheukwumere et al (2008) in Nigerian Yankasa rams of similar ages. This could be attributed to genotype, testicular size and technique of estimation (Ahemen and Bitto, 2007) and drug administration (Herbert et al, 2002).…”

Two groups of 4 healthy Ouda rams aged 2.0 to 2.6 years, weighing between 38.21 kg and 38.32 kg were assigned to either 49.50i.u (T2) or 99.00i.u (T3) Pergonal injections (Ferring Labs. USA) each divided into 3 doses and given for 3 consecutive days. Another group of 4 rams was given normal saline (1 ml) during the same period to serve as control (T1). All treatments were given to study the effect of the drug on body conformation and sperm reserves. All the treatments were given by intramuscular injections. The results showed significant differences (P<0.05) among the treatment groups in body conformation, testicular, epididymal and vas deferens weights. The results further showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) among the treatment groups in testicular and extra testicular sperm reserves. High correlations were observed between body weight and conformation, weight of epididymal segments and testicular sperm reserves. The results of this study showed that apart from body weight, the body conformation, testes, epididymal and vas deferens weights and sperm reserves of Ouda rams would be improved at the level of 99.00i.u Pergonal and this level should be recommended for induction of spermatogenesis in Ouda rams.

“…[2]investigated the use of fertility drug in the induction of spermatogenesis in male rabbits and reported positive reports. [3]however noted that bucks produce semen with very low sperm counts. Thus, attempts to stimulate sperm production using easily available preparations with the aim of ensuring high, sperm counts, libido and invariably high conception rate in inseminated does cannot be over emphasized.…”

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.
