Veterinary Andrology and Reproductive Techniques

INTRODUCTION

• The male reproductive tract developed from the wolffian duct or mesonephric tubules.
• The male reproductive organs consist of two testes (or testicles) which are contained in the scrotum, ducts, accessory sex glands and the penis.
• The testis produces spermatozoa and the male sex hormone (testosterone).
• The scrotum helps in maintaining optimum temperature for the spermatozoa production.
• The other structures help in transport of semen from site of production to the site of deposition ie. vagina
