Testicular morphometry as a tool to evaluate the efficiency of immunocastration in lambs
Animal Reproduction, 2022 This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of immunocastration in lambs using testicular morphometry. Thirty lambs were randomly divided into two treatments (subcutaneous administration of 1.0 mL and 0.5 mL of an anti-GnRH vaccine) and a control group (1.0 mL saline solution).
