Abstract

The aim of this study was discuss about the aspects of spermatogenesis, and the facts that may influence its occurrence. Spermatogenesis is the process of cell division and cell differentiation by with spermatozoa are produced in testes. Efficiency of spermatogenesis in stallions is influenced by species differences and numerical density of germ cell. Activities of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids partition spermatogenesis into phases that are the spermatocitogenesis, meiosis, differentiation and spermiogenesis, respectively. Seasonality influences on the developmental in spermatogenesis that can occur more germ cell degeneration out of the breed season.  The aim of this study was discuss about the aspects of spermatogenesis, and the facts that may influence its occurrence. More studies are needed to understand the process of spermatogenesis in horses located in Brazil territory, with climate conditions that are submitted.
