Little learning about SPERM PRODUCTION and HOT WEATHER

in homesteading •  6 years ago 

As we are due to see some warm weather this weekend...

Sperm production occurs at 2–4ºC below body temperature
(38.5–39.5ºC), however, as one third of a boar’s testicles are
inside the body, they are less effective at temperature regulation than other mammals with fully suspended scrotum.

Heat stress related boar infertility can last up to eight weeks
following a period of hot weather. The testes operate as a
production line with sperm at all stages of development being
present at all times. If anything happens to the boar to damage this system, it can take up to eight weeks for new normal mature sperm to be produced.
