However, limited information exists regarding the reproductive physiology of Senduro goats, which poses challenges to the development of breeding programs and the preservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to investigate the morphological and reproductive profiles of male Senduro goats at different ages, focusing on morphological characteristics, mating behavior, and sperm quality. Morphological characteristics are assessed through body length measurements, while mating behavior serves as an indicator of reproductive behavior. Macroscopic evaluations of sperm quality include assessments of color, viscosity, pH, and volume, while microscopic examinations encompass motility (mass and individual), viability, and spermatozoa membrane integrity. The results showed morphological similarities between juvenile and adult samples, with their testicular size being the only significant difference. Based on macroscopic and microscopic examinations, no significant differences were found between groups. From the results it was concluded that there were no distinct differences in morphological characteristics, mating behavior, and sperm quality between male Senduro goats in the juvenile and adult stages. © The Author(s) 2023 date: 2023-11-25 publication: Online Journal of Animal and Feed Research volume: 13 number: 6 publisher: Scienceline Publication, Ltd pagerange: 460-466 id_number: 10.51227/ojafr.2023.63 refereed: TRUE issn: 2228-7701 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85179419660&doi=10.51227%2fojafr.2023.63&partnerID=40&md5=56d17cba0f31f9970a894974b005204d j_index: scopus citation: (2023) MORPHOLOGY AND REPRODUCTIVITY PROFILING OF MALE SENDURO GOATS BASED ON AGE DIFFERENCES.
