The semen profile in two cryptorchid boars and two age-matched (aged 10 months and two years old) boars were evaluated using the split ejaculate method. Sperm concentrations, sperm morphology, seminal alpha-glucosidase and seminal fructose were analysed. A disparity in sperm concentrations and percentage normal sperms was observed in split ejaculate fractions of healthy boars compared to cryptorchid boars (p<0.001) in both age groups. This study documents for the first time in literature, some data on seminal alpha-glucosidase activity (range 11.4 to 12.5 mU mL-1) and seminal fructose (range 7.2-10.8 mg 100 mL-1) concentration in the split ejaculates of boars. The testicular ectopia accompanied by epididymal ectopia of unilateral cryptorchidism causes sperm morpho-abnormalities. Cryptorchidism also causes impairment of seminal vesicular functions but not epididymal secretory functions. |
