“…Similar to previous findings (Dufour et al 1984;emsen 2005), testosterone concentrations at puberty were not affected by genotype. Scrotal circumferences at puberty were greater in Ra, Ca and aCa than aRa ram lambs.…”

“…For practical reasons, several methods have been used to define puberty in rams, including the completion of detachment between penis and prepuce (Wiggins and Terril 1953), inflexion point of scrotal circumference growth (Emsen 2005) and detection of successive mounts and ejaculation (Belibasaki and Kouimtzis 2000). Puberty is also characterized as the period when the ejaculate contains at least 50 × 10 6 sperm/ml and 10% motile cells (Wolf et al.…”
