| Description |
Thyroid function, testosterone levels and preputial microbial load were studied in pubertal buffalo bull calves (n=7), mature buffalo bulls (n=8) and mature cow bulls (n=6). Thyroid hormones (T3) and T4) in pubertal buffalo bull calves were comparable to breeding buffalo bulls and cow bulls, suggesting stable thyroids activity from puberty to sexual maturity for initiation of pubertal endocrine and exocrine testicular functions. Testosterone profiles, however, were distinctly low in buffalo bulls/bull calves as compared to cow bulls (P
