Abstract

A comparative study was performed on the testes of six bulls, six water buffalos, five fallow deer stags and seven rams in order to quantify germ-cell loss during meiosis. The number of germ-cell nuclei present in 1 mum-thick tubular cross sections was transformed into nuclear points to compensate for different nuclear and tubular diameters. Germ-cell loss during meiosis amounted to 18.5% in water buffalo, 14.3% in ram, 6.5% in bull and 5.9% in fallow deer. This loss results primarily from the escape of cells into the tubular lumen during the second meiotic division.
