Abstract

Semen was evaluated before and after seminal vesiculectomy in seven bulls. Volume, motility, percentage of live cells and primary abnormalities decreased, while cell concentration and secondary morphological abnormalities increased. Five of the bulls were mated with heifers and had acceptable fertility. The vesicular glands influence certain seminal characteristics but are not essential to fertility.
