Abstract
Epididymal sperm reserves were determined in 6 sexually mature goats. The numbers of spermatozoa in the caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis were 1.90 .+-. 0.16, 0.66 .+-. 0.04 and 6.18 .+-. 0.91 .times. 109, respectively, and they represented 21.7, 7.5 and 70.8%, respectively, of the sperm reserve on that side. The total epididymal sperm reserve per male was .apprx. 17.5 .times. 109 spermatozoa.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
