Testis morphometry and kinetics of spermatogenesis in the feral pig (Sus scrofa)
چکیده انگلیسی

The feral pig (Sus scrofa sp) also known as Monteiro pig, originated from a domestic pig breed that was introduced into Pantanal region in Brazil in the eighteenth century. Although the feral pig has commercial potential, there are few reports in the literature concerning the reproductive biology of this species. Therefore, the aim of this study was to further describe the feral pig testis parenchyma as well as characterize the stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycle by tubular morphology method, and to evaluate the number of differentiated spermatogonia generations in this species. Eight sexually mature feral pigs were analyzed. Fragments of testes were embedded in plastic resin and used to prepare slides for morphometrical studies. It was concluded that the feral pig has six generations of differentiated spermatogonials (A1, A2, A3, A4, In, B) and that the cellular composition in the eight stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycle of these animals were very similar to those reported in species of suidae and tayssuidae already studied.
