Цель нашего исследования - поиск связей между морфометрическими показателями тела и качеством спермопродукции. Было сформировано две группы животных: группа I (n=8) – козлы, впервые использовавшиеся в качестве производителей (1,8-1,9 лет) и группа II (n=14) – действующие козлы -производители (2,7 – 3,8 лет). Для оценки качества спермы были отобраны особи, от которых получено не менее 3-х эякулятов: группа I (n=6) и группа II (n=14). Для сравнительного и корреляционного анализа были взяты наивысшие значения по каждому показателю – объем эякулята, концентрация клеток в эякуляте, прогрессивная подвижность, количество клеток в эякуляте. Различий по двенадцати промерам тела и качеству спермы у особей двух групп не выявлено. Обнаружена однонаправленная корреляционная связь параметров спермопродукции с косой длиной тела, обхватом груди, шириной крестца, обхватом пясти, а также индексами костистости, массивности и растянутости (p &lt;0,05-0,001). Полученные результаты предполагают использование морфометрических показателей тела в качестве косвенного признака, связанного с воспроизводительной способностью козлов.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Morphological body characteristics are linked to animal adaptation to a specific habitat, so analysis of zoometric data is essential for selecting the best animals in goat herds. The aim of our study was to identify links between body morphometric parameters and sperm quality. Two groups of animals were formed: Group I (n=8) – bucks being used as breeders for the first time (1,8-1,9 years old) and Group II (n=14) – bucks in active production (2,7-3,8 years old). To assess sperm quality, individuals from which at least three ejaculates were collected were selected: Group I (n=6) and Group II (n=14). The highest values for each indicator— ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, progressive motility, and total sperm count in the ejaculate—were used for comparative and correlation analysis. No differences were found in twelve body measurements or sperm quality between individuals in the two groups. A unidirectional correlation between sperm production parameters and oblique body length, chest girth, rump width, metacarpal girth, as well as indices of bone content, massiveness, and elongation was found (p &lt; 0.05-0.001). These results suggest the use of body morphometric parameters as an indirect indicator of buck reproductive performance.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>козлы-производители</kwd><kwd>промеры</kwd><kwd>морфометрия</kwd><kwd>индексы телосложения</kwd><kwd>объем эякулята</kwd><kwd>концентрация клеток в эякуляте</kwd><kwd>прогрессивная подвижность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>stud bucks</kwd><kwd>measurements</kwd><kwd>morphometry</kwd><kwd>body conformation indices</kwd><kwd>ejaculate volume</kwd><kwd>ejaculate cell concentration</kwd><kwd>progressive motility</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке Министерства образования и науки, проект №124020200029-4.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Баркова А.С., Шурманова Е.И., Шурмухина Ю.В.
