The reproductive behaviour in male animals is innate and serves as an essential component of the reproductive process. Its primary purpose is to facilitate copulation, which leads to pregnancy and ultimately the birth of offspring.
Factors affecting spermatogenesis in male animals include a combination of hormonal, environmental, nutritional, genetic, and physiological influences.
Spermatozoa (sperm) are the mature male reproductive cells responsible for fertilizing the female egg (ovum) during sexual reproduction.
Spermatogenesis (spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis) is a complex process of cell division and differentiation resulting in the formation of spermatozoa.

The endocrinology of male reproduction involves a complex interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and testes.
Factors affecting puberty and sexual maturity in male animals include genetics, nutrition, environment, management, and health status.
Factors Affecting Puberty and Sexual Maturity in Male Animals Read More »
Puberty in male animals is the age when the generative organs become functional and reproduction becomes possible, but full reproductive capacity—marked by increased ejaculate volume and sperm quality—is achieved later at sexual maturity.
The penis is a copulatory organ in males, typically cylindrical in shape, extending from the ischiatic arch to the umbilical region.
The bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands) in male animals are paired glands located on either side of the pelvic urethra near the ischiatic arch.
The prostate gland exhibits various forms in domestic male farm animals. It is located on the floor of the pelvis, around the neck of the urinary bladder, the cranial portion of the pelvic urethra, or caudal to the neck of the bladder.
