The Influence of Season and Age on Specific Semen Traits and Reproductive Behavior in Carpatina Breed Bucks by Constantin Pascal, Claudia Pânzaru, Răzvan-Mihail Radu-Rusu, Vasile Maciuc, Alexandru Marian Florea, Ionică Nechifor

“…Additionally, a significant correlation was identified between body weight and testicular volume in adult bucks (R = 0.942, <i>p</i>-value = 0.016 for L34; R = 0.797, <i>p</i>-value = 0.022 for L56), suggesting that age plays a crucial role in reproductive potential. Our findings highlight that, while bucks are capable of year-round reproduction, autumn provides optimal conditions for semen quality and reproductive performance. …”
