Objetivou-se realizar a avaliação matemática e as correlações de medidas morfométricas de testÃculos de bovinos zebuÃnos e azebuados. Foram mensurados perÃmetro escrotal, diâmetro e comprimento testicular e espessura do tecido escrotal. A forma testicular foi avaliada a partir do modelo proposto de excentricidade, comprovando a caracterÃstica alongada dos testÃculos. Observou-se que o crescimento testicular ocorre principalmente dos 18 aos 24 meses. Os volumes testiculares calculados a partir dos modelos matemáticos encontrados na literatura e outros dois propostos neste trabalho foram comparados com os volumes mensurados, sendo o modelo da esfera/cilindro [VT = Ï€ (Dt)2 (3Ct - Dt)/12] o que mais se aproximou do valor real.
The objective was to perform the mathematical evaluation and relationship of morphometric measurements of bovine testicl es zebus breed and zebu-crossed. Was measured scrotal perimeter, testicular diameter and length and thickness of the scrotal tissue. The testicular form was calculated from the proposed model of eccentricity, showing the characteristic elongated testicles. It was observed that testicular growth occurs mainly from 18 to 24 months. The testicular volume calculated from the mathematical models found in literature and the other two proposed in this work were compared with volumes measured, with the model of the sphere / cylinder [VT = π (Dt)2 (3Ct - Dt)/12], the came closest to the actual value.
