The testes of maie swine were exposed once to 300 r of x rays. The males were allowed to recover before they were used for breeding so that the sperm sampled were irradiated as spermatogonia. Exposed males, when bred to females purchased from breeders, sired offspring that had a significantly lower weight at 154 days of age than the comparable controls. Exposed males, bred to females that were from litters produced by the purchased animals, sired offspring having a significantly higher weight at 154 days than the controls. These data suggest that the genetic effect of irradiation may interact with combinations of circumstances perhaps of both genetic and environmental origin. (auth)
