| Özet |
| The aim of current investigation was to evaluate seasonal changes in the testicular measurements, fresh and post-thawing spermatological characteristics, serum testosterone (T) levels in Gurcu goats. Moreover, seminal plasma phospholipase A2 activity levels were determined. Four adult Gurcu male goats (2-3 years old) were used as semen donor and ejaculates (n= 113) from these goats were weekly collected with artificial vagina in the presence of natural estrus or estrogened female fantom during breeding season (BS, September-February) and non breeding season (NBS, March-August), respectively. Moreover, jugular blood was collected and serums were separated to determine Testesterone level during BS and NBS. All andrologic parameters, except testes width (P< 0.05), were not changed statistically during BS and NBS in Gurcu bucks. It was determined that ejaculate volume (1.27±0.05 vs 0.76±0 … |
