한우 종모우의 고환둘레와 정액성상 그리고 후대희 성장 및 도체성적과의 관계를 구명하기 위하여 4~8세 한우 종무우 92두를 공시하였으며 8,628개의 종모우 정액성상 그리고 종모우 후대 814e의 성장 및 도체성적을 이용하였다. 종모우의 고환둘레는 38.73.73 cm, 1차 정액량, 정자농도 및 총정자수는 각각 5.63mL, 17.9/mL 및 100.34/ejaculation 이었고 2차 정액량, 정자농도, 및 총정자수는 각각 5.32mL, 15.0/
Ninety-two heads of sire, ranging from 4 to 8 years old, and semen production records of 8,628 from those sire and the performance and carcass traits from 814 heads of those offspring were used to investigate the relationships of scrotal circumference(SC) of Hanwoo sire to semen characteristics and performance, carcass traits of those offspring. Average SC of sire were 38.7 cm. The semen volume, sperm concentration and total sperm number at first and second ejaculation were 5.63 mL and 5.32 mL, and 15.0/mL, and 100.3/ ejaculation and 79.4/ejaculation, respectively. SC is positively correlated with semen volume(1st : =0.27, P<0.05 ; 2nd : =0.19, P<0.10), sperm concentration(1st : =0.21, P<0.05) and total sperm number(1st , 2nd : =0.28, P<0.01). The live weights of those offspring were 49.2, 281.1, 436.3 and 534.4 kg at 6, 12, 18, 22 months old, respectively, and average daily gain(ADG) were 0.81 kg/day. And, carcass weight, longissimus dorsi area, backfat thickness and marbling score were 313.8 kg, 77.9 cm, 0.62 cm and 2.47, respectively. There were tended to be positive relationships between SC of sire and live weight of 6 months old(=0.08, P<0.10), 12(=0.18, P=0.10), 18(=0.21, P<0.10), 22(=0.20, P<0.10), ADG(=0.25, P<0.05), carcass weight(=0.18, P<0.10) and longissimus dorsi area(=0.18, P<0.10) of those offspring. However, SC and backfat thickness, marbling score have no significant relationship. This results indicate that SC of sire was related to semen production and the gain weight of those offspring, positively. However, further investigation are needed to confirm the results.
