What is Testicular Measurements and Daily Sperm Output of Tori and Estonian Breed Stallions about?

## Contents Evaluation of testicular measurements and daily sperm output (DSO) yields valuable information for predicting the reproductive capacity of stallions. The present study evaluated testicular measurements (height, length, width and circumference) and DSO of eight Tori and eight Estonian breed stallions. One ejaculate of semen was collected daily for 10 subsequent days from each stallion. The gel‐free volume of semen was measured with a graduated glass cylinder and the sperm concentration was assessed with a Chorjajev chamber. The volume of gel‐free fraction was multiplied by the sperm concentration to give the total number of spermatozoa (TSN). The DSO was calculated as mean TSN of collection on days 8–10 in Tori breed stallions and on days 4–10 in Estonian breed stallions. The DSO of Tori breed stallions was 12.9 × 10^9^ spermatozoa and of Estonian breed stallions 4.5 × 10^9^ spermatozoa (p < 0.001). Testicular measurements (in cm) 1 day after the last semen collection were as follows: __left testis__– height 7.3, length 10.4 and width 7.3 in Tori breed stallions, and 5.9, 8.1 and 5.9, respectively, in Estonian breed stallions; __right testis__– height 7.4, length 10.6 an
