1 Extension beyond the Textbook
Animal Reproduction Extension beyond the Textbook

2 Conditions for Fertilization
Anatomy of Male & Female must be compatible Female must be in Heat Egg must be mature

3 What is the function of the Male?
produce large numbers of live sex cells (spermatozoa) contribute 1/2 chromosomes

4 What are the Male Reproductive Organs?
Testicles - produce spermatozoa & male hormone Testosterone Scrotom - sack which carries testicles functions as a heat regulator Monorchid - one fertile testicle Cryptorchid - both testes remain in body cavity (sterile) Castration - removal of testicles lack sex drive gain weight quicker

5 What are the Male Reproductive Organs?
Epididymis - tube connects to testes storage of spermatozoa ( billion at a time) spermatozoa mature as they migrate through Vas Deferens - tube connects to epididymus if removed, can't reproduce = vasectomy

6 What are the Male Reproductive Organs?
Urethra - begins at bladder and continues through penis Sigmoid Flexure - "S" shape in urethra allows for extension of penis outside of body for reproduction

7 Accessory Sex Glands prostate two seminal vesicles two cowpers glands

8 What is the function of the Accessory Sex Glands?
provide medium for transporting sperm adds volume provides nutrients cleans & flushes urinary tract

9

10 Artificial Insemination

11 What is the function of the female?
contribute 1/2 chromosomes care for young in uterus and after birth until weaning

12 What are the Female Reproductive Organs?
Vulva - exterior portion of reproductive tract provides visual signs of heat Vagina - between vulva & cervix Cows & Ewes: semen is deposited here Mares & Sows: semen is deposited in the cervix

13 What are the Female Reproductive Organs?
Cervix - "Mouth of the womb" opening into uterus at birth cervix stretches to allowbaby to pass (most painful part) during pregnancy cervix becomes blocked with a mucous plug to prevent infection

14 What are the Female Reproductive Organs?
Uterine Horns - two branches of uterus Fallopian Tube - uterine horn becomes a small tube lined with cilia which aid in egg migration

15 Ovaries located at end of fallopian tubes
possesses large number of eggs in all stages of development this is all the eggs she will ever have, unlike the male very few eggs reach maturity if not fertilized, the egg is reabsorbed by the body

16

17 Reproduction in Males After sexual maturity, sperm production is continuous Testosterone is responsible for: growth, development & activity of accessory glands survival of spermatozoa secondary sex characteristics:male voice, sex drive

18 Reproduction in Males Semen - collective term for all fluid ejaculated
sperm and fluid from accessory glands

19 Reproduction in Females
Farm animals reach sexual maturity at 4 months (sow) to 24 months (mare), then Female comes in heat (estrus) Egg released by ovary Egg travels down tube until fertilized by sperm Estrogen - female hormone which regulates estrus

20 What does "in heat" mean? Heat is the time when a female is receptive to the male and will allow breeding to take place Heat is actually divided into 4 phases of the cycle.

21 Estrous Cycle: Proestrus: ovary is about to release an egg
Estrus: female receptivity Metestrus: uterus prepares for pregnancy fertilized egg attaches to uterus Diestrus: longest period of cycle inactive Estrous Cycles stop after conception, and begin soon after Parturition (birth)

22 Females also show external signs of "Heat"
aggressive behavior swelling and/or color change of vulva

23 Beef Terms A Mature Male is called a: Bull A Mature Female is called a: Cow The act of Giving Birth is called: Calving Gestation = 283 days A Castrated Male is called a: Steer An Immature Female is called a: Heifer

24 What do you call a mature male hog?
Boar What do you call a mature female hog? Sow What do you call the act of giving birth? Farrowing What do you call a castrated male hog? Barrow What do you call an young female hog? Gilt What is the gestation for hogs? 114 days or 3 months, 3 weeks, & 3 days

25 Poultry Terms What do you call a mature male? Rooster What do you call a mature female? Hen What do you call a young female? Pullet What do you call a castrated male? Capon Chickens Hatch What is the incubation period? 21 days

26 What do you call a mature male horse?
Stallion What do you call a mature female horse? Mare What do you call a castrated male horse? Gelding What do you call a young horse? foal or colt

27 What do you call an immature female horse?
Filly What do you call the act of giving birth for horses? Foaling What is the gestation for a horse? 330 days
