- W2908093114 abstract "Reproductive seasonality has been reported in numerous species, including male dromedary camels, yet investigations into seasonal changes in camel semen quality have yet to be conducted. The aim of this study was to characterise the seasonal changes in camel semen quantity and quality as well as correlate these changes to testis and accessory sex gland morphology, sexual behaviour, libido and environmental factors such as day length and ambient temperature in Oman. Semen was collected twice a month for a year and testicular and accessory sex organ biometry recorded once a month via ultrasonography (n = 8 bulls). Blood samples were collected monthly to assess testosterone levels. Results indicated that testes and accessory sex glands size increased during October-April, peaking with testosterone concentrations during January (P<0.05). The sexual behaviour and libido of camels was also greater during the months of October-April (P<0.05). Attempts to collect semen were 100% successful during November-February. Semen volume, as well as sperm gross activity, concentration, motility, average path velocity and percentage with intact acrosomes were the greatest during January and decreased from May-September (P<0.05). Changes in values for semen variables, testosterone concentrations and sex organ anatomy were also highly correlated with seasonal changes in day length and ambient temperatures. In conclusion, a clearly defined reproductive season was observed in male camels in Oman ranging from December-March, with peak reproductive function occurring during December-January. To increase the success of breeding programs, matings or semen collections should be timed to occur when reproductive function is maximal." @default.
