A ridgling (also spelled ridgeling), [1] or rig, is a cryptorchid; [2] a male animal with one or both testicles undescended, [1] usually describing a ram, bull, or male horse, [3] but cryptorchidism also can be an issue in dogs and cats. [4] Because the heat inside the body is too high for sperm to survive, an undescended testicle is non ...
Cryptorchidism is common in male dogs, occurring at a rate up to 10%. [19] This condition is one of the most common congenital defects in purebred dogs (11%), with 14% reported in Siberian Huskies. [20] Although the genetics are not fully understood, it is thought to be a recessive, and probably polygenetic, trait. [21]
Cryptorchidism is when one the testicles is retained in the abdomen or inguinal canal past a normal stage of development. It is a common occurrence in dogs and is thought to be a sex-limited autosomal recessive trait. [6] False pregnancy*, or pseudocyesis, is a common condition in female intact dogs. Signs include swelling of the mammary glands ...
Further analysis of dog tissue suggests microplastics may impact sperm count and testis weight. Male infertility continues to be a worldwide problem, but it is not always clear what factors ...
For a reduction in temperature of 7 °C the respiration rate of sperm declines by one half, and the solubility of oxygen in solution increases by approximately 10%. [12] Hence for a reduction in temperature of 7 °C the availability of oxygen is doubled, and hence twice as many sperm can be stored per unit volume of epididymal duct. [ 12 ]
One testicle not descending into the scrotum during normal embryonic or fetal development (3–4% of 'normal' live births), also known as undescended testis or cryptorchidism. In this case the testis is within the abdominal cavity, somewhere along the normal route of descent – most commonly, within the inguinal canal .
