Parâmetros espermáticos e ultrassonográficos de cão com assimetria testicular

The objective of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonographic and seminal parameters of a dog, presenting testicular asymmetry. After semen collection, the parameters analyzed were total motility, vigor, membrane functionality, sperm concentration and sperm morphology. Other parameters were obtained by Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA). The evaluations showed changes in the ultrasonographic patterns and sperm parameters that indicate a poor quality sperm and testicular degeneration, with possible impairment of fertility.
