Abstract

Testicular degeneration is a predisposing condition in older bulls produced by a degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium. We report the case of a Senepol bull of 10 years of age, which had presented fertility problems, so it was decided to approach by a general clinical examination, an andrological exam and a testicular ultrasound. It confirms a degeneration of the left testicle probably attributed to age and stress. After 40 days of nutritional and pharmacological treatment the patient had a second control test which shows a favorable evolution, where in addition a complementary fertility test was performed, which consisted of fresh insemination of 15 cows resulted in 9 pregnant females . At the end of treatment at 70 days a final test is performed which shows recovery of both the physical signs and the quality of the ejaculate. The animal recovered its reproductive function, nowadays you can get pregnant with this specimen by means of the fresh insemination giving an adequate handling for life.
