Then all bulls were adjusted to a roughage ration for 10 days, before grazing brome pasture for 38 days as one group. High energy did not decrease semen quality or sex drive. Energy level affected scrotal circumference of the Simmentals but not Herefords. Weight loss on pasture did not decrease semen quality or sex drive.BeefSemenScrotal circumferenceEnergyEffect of energy intake on semen characteristics, sex drive, and scrotal circumference of yearling beef bullsConference paper
