Levelled-container: a new utility for determining the testicular volume in small ruminants

This study is conducted to assess the validity of a designed utility, suitable for measuring testicular volume. We describe a beaker, equipped with two vial levels, based on a water displacement method, known as a “levelled container” for measuring testicular volume. Testicular volumes of 47 Boer bu...
