Age Determines Sperm Quality in Javanese Local Rams: Impact on Fertility.
The study looked at how the age of Javanese local rams affects the quality of their semen. They divided the rams into different age groups and analyzed factors like semen color, odor, and sperm viability. The researchers found that sperm motility was significantly lower in younger rams, with the best motility seen in rams aged 25-36 months. Additionally, the viability of sperm was highest in rams aged 25-36 months after being stored for a certain period. Overall, the age of the ram had an impact on sperm motility and viability, with middle-aged rams showing the best results.
