Project description
In this research we will evaluate whether "Fourier harmonic amplitude (FHA)" is useful as a sperm quality test in young Bengal bulls. Influences of heat stress and puberty on sperm quality will be evaluated and later on, heat stressed semen will be assessed for its fertilizing capacity in vitro.
