Abstract

The onset of puberty and daily sperm production of bulls are fundamental aspects that impact natural breeding and semen production centers. Critical molecular and endocrine aspects of testicular development, spermatogenesis and functions are reviewed. Methods to enhance sperm production (gonadotropin supplementation, immunization against inhibin and induction of temporary hypothyroidism) and findings are discussed.
