| Abstract: | The objective of the present study was to describe the relationship between some reproductive parameters, hormonal levels, and some biochemical properties of blood serum in rams under the Afyon province conditions. The total protein and globulin were positively (P?<?0.01) correlated with sperm motility and sperm concentration in all of rams. Total lipid was negatively (P?<?0.05) correlated with sperm motility and concentration in Daglic, and it was positively (P?<?0.01) correlated with percentage of abnormal spermatozoa in Chios rams. Total lipid and cholesterol was positively (P?<?0.01) correlated with triiodothyronine in all of rams and was negatively (P?<?0.05) correlated with testosterone in Daglic rams. Percentage of abnormal spermatozoa were negatively (P?<?0.01) correlated with alanine amino transaminase (ALT) level, but were positively (P?<?0.01) associated with aspartate amino transaminase (AST) level and AST/ALT ratio in all of rams. |
