| Zusammenfassung: | This study reports the distribution of sperm morphology defects by breed, age, season and region of 11,387 bulls in 500 herds in Australia and near Pacific Islands during annual BBSE. Bull location was divided into 4 broad climatic regions based upon temperature, vegetation and climatic risk. Taking into account the impact of age, season, region, and breed there were differences between breeds in both percent morphologically normal sperm and in some individual categories of sperm abnormality (P |
