A note on induced cryptorchidism in male cattle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Abstract
The induction of cryptorchidism in dairy-bred male calves during the 1st week after birth severely restricted testicular growth and the semen of cryptorchids was practically sterile. Their lifetime performance in a semi-intensive beef system was similar to that of bulls and significantly superior to that of steers. Similar differences were found in carcass characteristics. The grazing behaviour of cryptorchids was similar to that of bulls.
