A note on the fertility of rams exposed to high temperatures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Summary
Fertility of rams was studied following their exposure to heat for 1 or 3 days in a hot room. Eight to 16 days later exposed rams showed significantly lower fertility as judged by lambing rate of ewes compared with unheated control rams. From 25 to 36 days after exposure treated rams were not significantly less fertile than controls. There were no significant differences in fertility between rams exposed 1 day or 3 days to heat.
