The sperm reserves in the testis and epididymis of pubertal and adult indigenous West African boars were 4.22 and 4.99 x 10(9) and 1.81 and 1.92 x 10(9) respectively and were influenced by age and organ weight (P < 0.05). Although these values were much less than those of exotic boars of about the same age, distribution in weights and sperm content of both indigenous and exotic boars is similar. However, testicular and epididymal sperm reserves were unrelated (r = 0.19, P > 0.05) indicating that sperm storage capacity was still developing.
青春期和成年西非本土公猪睾丸和附睾中的精子储备分别为4.22×10⁹和4.99×10⁹以及1.81×10⁹和1.92×10⁹，且受年龄和器官重量影响（P<0.05）。尽管这些数值远低于同龄外来公猪，但本土和外来公猪的重量分布及精子含量相似。然而，睾丸和附睾中的精子储备并无关联（r = 0.19，P>0.05），这表明精子储存能力仍在发育。
