Data were presented on epididymal spermatozoa from 29 inbred
and linecross bulls raised at Oregon State University in connection
with the Western Regional Beef Cattle Breeding Project, W-1. The
inbred bulls came from four inbred lines. Three of these inbred
lines were Herfords and the other line was Angus. The...
The production records used were all converted to a comparable
based, 305 day lactation period, two times a day milking, and
mature equivalent (305 days-2-x-ME) of 71 cows from four Holstein
bulls and 59 cows from four Jersey bulls were used for the study.

Six experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
DES implantation on preweaning performance and sexual maturation
of male calves when implanted at various stages of development and
different sites.
Calves receiving DES implants in Experiments I and II were
implanted at birth, at birth and at about three months...
I. Frozen bovine semen samples were measured by flow cytometry
(FCM) to determine if FCM analyses could be useful for sperm quality
evaluation and prediction of bull fertility. Fluorescent dyes
utilized were acridine orange, to measure sperm nuclear chromatin
heterogeneity by quantifying susceptibility of the chromatin to
denaturation, and rhodamine...
