Fig. 1

Phenotypic manifestation of the tail stump sperm defect. Representative figures of spermatozoa of a control (a) and an affected bull (b). Spermatozoa of affected bulls had multiple aberrations such as short tails (blue star), rudimentary tails with proximal droplet (arrows), rudimentary tails without proximal droplet (yellow triangle) and coiled tails (red star). Histological sections of the testicles of a control (c) and an affected (d) bull. Numerous full-length sperm tails are present in the luminal part of the tubuli seminiferi in the control bull, whereas full-length sperm tails are absent in the affected bull
