Semental, Macho ovino, Apetito sexual, Calidad seminal, Daño espermáticoResumen
Las temperaturas elevadas registradas durante la época de verano en las regiones cálidas comprometen la capacidad reproductiva de los animales domésticos. En carneros, el estrés por calor (EC) causa en el organismo una serie de ajustes fisiológicos, metabólicos, endocrinos y moleculares con el objeto de mantener normotermia y sobrevivir; sin embargo, varios de estos cambios se asocian negativamente con su fertilidad, principalmente los endocrinos. El EC en carneros provoca una disminución en las concentraciones sanguíneas de testosterona a través de diferentes mecanismos, y esto se refleja negativamente en el proceso de espermatogénesis y en la conducta sexual. En consecuencia, los carneros estresados por calor presentan baja calidad seminal y apetito sexual; a nivel de espermatozoides se ha observado daño estructural y en el ADN. Dada esta situación, se recomienda el uso de estrategias de mitigación del EC durante el verano en las explotaciones ovinas de regiones cálidas, tales como el uso de sombras en corrales, la administración de antioxidantes o modificaciones en la alimentación. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este documento es revisar el conocimiento actual en relación al efecto del EC sobre la capacidad de termorregulación y reproductiva de los carneros, así como la aplicación de estrategias para su mitigación.
