“…Also, in Murrah buffalo bulls, a significant positive relationship between scrotal circumference and semen volume and concentration per ejaculate was reported (Pant et al, 2003), Present results demonstrated that the Iraqi buffaloes are not seasonal animals, because they are capable of being inseminated in around year, but the male reproductive organs effects by temperature in hot months (summer).…”

“…Higher volumes were observed in older animals. Volumes ranging from 2.0 to 8.0 ml have been reported (Javed et al, 2000;Pant et al, 2003;Vale, 2011;Zorzetto et al, 2016). According to Vale (2011), variation in seminal volumes can be observed in both young and adult bulls.…”

“…As for sperm concentration/production, a seminal characteristic that varies until the end of testicular growth when males reach full sexual maturity, it is expected that the sperm concentration varies between 500 x 10 6 to 1,200 x 10 6 spermatozoa per ml (Javed et al, 2000;Pant et al, 2003;Vale et al, 2008;Vale, 2011). In the long-term study, adult bulls showed a large variation in sperm concentration ranging from 17.5 to 7,760 x 10 6 spermatozoa per ml.…”

The aim of the present review is to provide complementary information about reproductive characteristics of male buffaloes having as perspective a four -year-study based on a weekly seminal collection schedule and collection of data in partner properties of several regions of Brazil. Aspects of testicular growth, reproductive behavior and characteristics of 1477 ejaculates of 13 donors are discussed in conjunction with data available in the literature.

RESUMO.-[Biometria escroto-testicular em caprinos: inϐluência de período do ano na bipartição escrotal.]Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a biometria escroto-testicular em caprinos com escroto simples e bipartido, criados no Estado do Piauí, Brasil, nos períodos seco e chuvoso do ano. The scrotal-testicular biometry was evaluated in goats raised in Piaui state, Brazil, presenting different levels of scrotal division, in rainy and dry periods of the year. For this study, eighteen male goats at mating age were accomplished and arranged into three groups (6 animals each), obeying the classiϐication as goats with no scrotal bipartition (GI), goats showing scrotal bipartition up to 50% of testicular length (GII), and goats with more than 50% of scrotal bipartition (GIII). The biometry of the scrotal-testicular was made evaluating the scrotal length (SL), scrotal circumference (SC), testicular length (TL) and testicular volume (TV). The results were evaluated following the variance analysis (ANOVA) and the SNK test applied on the average comparisons. The analysis of the data demonstrated high values, in dry and rainy periods, of SC (24.63cm/ 26.97cm), SL (16.61cm/ 18.24cm), TL (5.32cm/ 5.93cm), TV (173.81cm 3 / 203.01cm 3 ). This supports the hypothesis of the inϐluence of the period of the year and of the scrotal bipartition on the scrotal-testicular biometry in goat.INDEX TERMS: Goats, scrotal bipartition, biometry, year-periods variability.to testicular) e o grupo III (bipartição escrotal superior a 50% do comprimento testicular). A biometria escroto-testicular consistiu do comprimento escrotal (COE), circunferência escrotal (CE), comprimento testicular (CT) e volume testicular (V). Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA), seguido do teste SNK para comparação das médias. Os dados mostraram que os animais do grupo GIII apresentaram, no período seco, os valores de CE, COE, CT e V de 24,63cm, 16,61cm, 5,32cm, e 173,81cm³, respectivamente e de 26,97cm para CE, 18,24cm para COE, 5,93cm para CT e 203,01cm³ para V, no período chuvoso. Todos esses valores foram superiores (p<0,05) aos encontrados para os animais dos demais grupos. Conclui-se que o grau de bipartição escrotal e o período do ano interferem na biometria escroto-testicular de caprinos. TERMOS DE INDEXAÇÃO: Caprinos, escroto bipartido, biometria.
