Testicular degeneration can decrease SC and it may be temporary if the underlying cause is removed.11 The SC provides a reliable estimate of testicular mass and is useful in estimating daily sperm production and semen quality.4 Severe testicular degeneration was diagnosed in bull C and the SC was below the normal range.	cache/ct-12711.pdf	txt/ct-12711.txt
