[QUOTE="dun, post: 44716, member: 34"] Somewherre just shy of 100 years ago, or so it seems, there was a big deal about feeding vinegar to dairy goats to increase the number of doe kids. Supposedly changed the ph of the repro tract. After 4-5 years, we had the same percentages as we had without the vinegar right at 50:50. I'm sure there are bulls/studs/bucks/ whatevers` that have a higher percentage of female sperm then male, but it too probably runs around 50:50. I think it has much more to do with the time of the introduction of the sperm cells and the ovulation time. Early ovulation with sperm present would generate more males, later ovulation would produce females because the male sperm cells would have died. My wife told me the reason the maile sperm cells get there first is because they won't stop to ask directions. If that's the case I'm surprised enough make it there to do the job. dun [/QUOTE]
