Evaluation on the Histopathology of Testes Anomalies in the Bulls Slaughtered at The City of Van
Abstract
Testis is very important in determining the bulls to be used in semen production at an early age. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of testicular anomalies and pathological cases in bulls slaughtered in Van, and present the histopathologically. For this purpose, 1133 bulls were examined in different breeds (DAK: East Anatolian Red, Swiss Brown, GAK: South Anatolian Red, Holstein, Cross breed, Simental, Indigenous Black). For pathological examination, the testis was fixed in Bouin’s solution. Different testicular pathologies were detected in 46 (4.06%) of 1133 bulls. Testicular anomaly and pathology rate in all races were Holstein 6.53%, Simental 5.55%, DAK 2.35%, GAK 1.88% and Swiss Brown 1.90%. According to these, Holstein and Simental breeds are more prone to testicular anomalies and pathologies than other breeds. As a result; In this study, pathologies of the bulls slaughtered in Van province were examined and distributions of testicular anomalies encountered in bulls in this region are presented.
