Abstract
In the present study, testes characteristics and spermatologic features of 10 Karayaka rams kept under Ankara were determined. The average scrotal circumference, volume, thickness, testis length, diameter were 29.80 ± 1.08 cm, 573.70 ± 25.66 ml, 0.57 ± 0.01 cm, 12.31 ± 0.48 cm, 5.9 0 ± 0.18 cm respectively. From each ram 10 ejeculates were collected twice a week using an artificial vagina during the nonbreeding period. The spermatological characteristics of samples were as following: Ejaculate volume average 0.98 ± 0.08 ml, spermatozoa motility 79.35 ± 0.88 %, spermatozoa concentration 3653.16 ± 179 x10^9/ml, percentage of abnormal spermatozoa 10.99 ± 0.58 %, percentage of dead spermatozoa 13.35 ± 0.63 %, HOS test 75.84 ± 1.16 % and pH averaged 6.92 ± 0.04 in Karayaka rams. This is the first study which was proved principle spermatological characteristics and testes size of Karayaka rams.
