Testicular Parameters and Morphological Characteristics of Testicular and Epididymal Spermatozoa of White Fulani Bulls in Nigeria

Testicular parameters and morphological characteristics of testicular and epididymal spermatozoa of white Fulani bulls were study using twenty testicles. The objective was to study the normal testicular parameter and morphological changes during epididymal transit in the epididymis of white Fulani b...
