Abstract

The study assessed the supplemental effect of flushing Menz breeding rams with local agro-industrial by-products on their reproductive performance and semen quality. It recommends the use of wheat bran-based supplementation strategies to enhance the reproductive performance, semen quality, and the potential of Menz rams to serve ewes.
