Results of Investigations on Sterility in Males

University of Kentucky

Abstract

The Kentucky Experiment Station is located in one of the most prosperous livestock sections of our country. There are a very large number of prosperous breeding establishments devoted to cattle, sheep, and swine breeding close to the Experiment Station, and possibly no other section of the country has so many farms used exclusively for horse breeding as has Fayette and adjoining counties of Kentucky. The largest studs for the production of trotting horses and a large majority of all the thoroughbred horses in America are produced within a few miles of Lexington, Kentucky.

The close proximity of the station to these breeding farms presents an ideal condition in which to study various breeding problems. One of the most interesting of these has been investigated for a series of years, namely, the part which the infertile male plays in breeding. This investigation has been going on now for almost 10 years, and the purpose of this paper is to give a summary of the results without the details.
