7 year old male has low sprem count

[Maurice Carver III]

I have a male who is 7 turning 8 . He has live sperm but his counts are low. He will breed naturally. Does AI breeding give me a greater chance of getting pups. Also what suppliments really work to boost his semen levels ? Are there any medications that are on the market that increase sperm count ?

There is a section in the pitbull bible for preparing your stud and has all the supplements you would need to get him right. I would make sure his diet is in check first and then move on to supplements.

Maurice,

I have recently run into the same issue with my studs due to never breeding until late in their lives. What has worked for me is Vitamin E or Wheat Germ oil (pure), Tribulius a very low dose of Saw Palmetto (I do every other day) and a good quality joint supplement preferably with Perna Mussel.

Also twice a year I run them on Doxycycline for 21 days to clear out any infections.

And the most important is a good quality feed and good overall health otherwise you could be wasting money.

I just AI'd an 8 year old male doing the above and had a litter of 6 healthy all male pups. As far as which ups your chances. I'd say surgically AI would yield the best results. Or breed naturally or AI to a proven producing bitch.

Good luck,

This was his first litter, and he would not breed whatsoever, nor did he cooperate during collection. But we still managed to get a litter. Don't give up is probably another good bit of advice!

Some daily exercise will help also. I liked to add a couple tablespoons of desiccated liver in the dog feed as well. A antibiotic treatment is not a bad idea. That Hampton's Boze dog (sibling to J. Johnson's Rage) that C. Middleton had was hitting and missing. Later sold to F. Jacobs, and when bred got no pups. Jacobs called the previous owners and wanted to return the dog and get his money back. In the meanwhile took Boze to his local Veterinarian and dog was given a antibiotic treatment and got some pups when bred to his Jacobs Hog dog. This was told to me by the M. June. Cheers

surgical ai should not be needed anymore , not with these insertion tools they have with a camera on it

Thanks for all the tips. Hopefully I get something.
