“…The significant age buck interaction indicated that the rate of increase in the testicular dimensions with advancing age was not uniform in different Surti bucks (Chaudhari et al, 2018). After this period there was increase in these parameters but the increment was less as compared to third and fourth month (Kumari et al, 2015). Rate of growth of testis was most profound from third to fourth month of age.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of, replacing corn grains in concentrate feed mixture (CFM) with mango seeds (MS) in Damascus goat buck's diets, on productive and reproductive characteristics at prepubertal stage (weaning-prepuberty). Corn grains in CFM were replaced with mango seeds at levels of 0% MS (G1, control), 15% (G2) and 30% (G3). Results revealed that G3 showed the highest (P<0.05) LBW and average daily gain (ADG). Feed conversion ratio, all nutrients digestibility, feeding values, and economic feed efficiency were improved (P<0.05) in G2 and G3 compared with G1. Animals in G2 and G3 showed earlier (P<0.05) ages to produce the 1 st ejaculation than control. Testosterone concentration one-month prepuberty increased (P<0.05) in G2 compared with G1 and G3. Testicular measurements and scrotal circumference in G2 as well as only testicular length in G3 increased (P<0.05) in comparing with G1. Mediastinum width increased in G2, decreased in G3 compared with G1 (P<0.05). Tunica albuginea was thicker (P<0.05) in G2 and G3 than in G1. Scrotal septum was wider (P<0.05) in G3 than in G2. Prostate and vascular gland were longer (P<0.05) and wider in G2 and G3 than in G1. This study concluded that replacement of corn grains with mango seeds at level of 30% in diets of Damascus goat bucks has a positive effect on productive performance. The replacement at a level of 15% MS improved reproductive characterization of bucks raised for semen production for breeding programs.

“…Rate of growth of testis was most profound from third to fourth month of age. The mediastinum testis was visualised as a linear structure of great echogenicity (Jeyakumar et al, 2013;Kumari et al, 2015). The development of left and right testis is exactly the same.…”

“…It is well known that body weight is directly associated with the onset of puberty in bucks (Saab et al., 1997). Generally, the conventional age at weaning in Beetal bucks is 4.5 months, and puberty is achieved at the age of 9.5 months when the bucks weigh ~ 23 kg (Ishaq, 2016; Kumari et al., 2015). In the current study, slow body weight gain in early‐ than late‐weaned bucks supported a previous notion that early weaning decreases the growth of bucks (Palma & Galina, 1995).…”

The current study evaluates the effects of early (8th week) and late (16th week of age) weaning of male goat kids on their body growth, testicular growth, sexual behavior, plasma testosterone concentration, and pubertal age. Early (n = 6) and late (n = 7) weaned Beetal bucks were weekly monitored from 18th to 38th week for their body weight, scrotal circumference, testicular volume, testicular echogenicity (via ultrasonography), sexual activities, and plasma testosterone concentration. In comparison to early-weaned, late-weaned bucks showed a marked increase (p < .05) in body
