Abstract

Intratesticular injections of 5 ml calcium chloride (as sclerosing agent) dissolved in distilled water in conc. 25%, 50% and 70% induced probably irreversible azoospermia in donkeys. This reagent is inexpensive and does not seem to cause undesirable effects. The technique is easy to apply and appears suitable for large scale sterilization programme in farm animals as bulls and rams.
