| Abstract: | Twice the recommended dose of oxfendazole was given as a single dose to each of 6 boars. From these and 6 placebo treated boars of similar age semen was regularly collected both before and after the antihelminth treatment. Sperm production (volume and total number of spermatozoa) and semen quality (motility and morphology of spermatozoa) were examined in each ejaculate. From these measurements and post-mortem examination of the genital organs there was no apparent negative influence of treatment on sperm production or semen quality. |
