Abstract
Six rams of proven breeding ability were randomized equally into a control group and two experimental groups. One of the latter was sheared and the other was left unsheared. Both experimental groups were placed in a heated room at 90° F. and relative humidity 60 to 65%, for one week in the month of January. Physiological responses during the experimental period and subsequent changes in semen characters may be summarized as follows: Copyright © . .This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
