A breeding soundness examination (BSE) involving animal physical examination, scrotal circumference (SC) and semen evaluation was undertaken on 80 Ile-de-France rams at a government breeding farm, 32 km south-west of Casablanca (Morocco) from March to May 1988. A large percentage of rams (21.4 pe...

This study was undertaken using 48 mature Menz ewes (3-6 years of age) and averaging 31.5 (standard deviation (SD)=4.9) kg body weight, to evaluate oestrus synchronization, conception and lambing rates after ram introduction following a period of isolation (n=24) or constant exposure to vasectomi...

Clinical examination, bodily condition score (BCS), heart girth (HG), body length (BL), wither height (WH), and scrotal circumference (SC) were assessed on 486 mature Ethiopian Menz rams, on small farms, in local markets, and at the main abattoir in Addis Ababa from December 1994 to April 1995. A...
