abie-toperjorm a higg scrotal temperature as !lear as th? body temperature
and our irıteıilion was to determine tlı. effect of short perıod scrotal insulations
on semen characteristiesqf different bu!!s aı,d also to deter mine whether there
are differenees in response between Native, Montafon eronbred and Swedish
Red Breed bulls.
No changes have oeeurred in respect to volume, motility and coneentration
altributable to the short period insulations; however obvious deereases have
been obsered in the motility and the coneentratioll as a result of long period insulations.
The prolongation of the insulation periods have eaused some undesired changes in the spermato<:oalcharacteriJtics and the recovery has needed a longer period of time.
In comparable work, by applYing the same insulation periods we have
shown that the thermal influnee on the spermatozoal eharaeteristies was fourıd
to be more effeetiıe in Swedish Red Breea bulls than in our Native and crossbred
bulls. °THE EFFECTS OF ELEVATED INSULATION IN DIFFERENT BREEDS OF BULLSAnkara Üniversitesi – Ankara Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi
