This study aimed to evaluate the biometric and histological aspects of the testicles of horses Baixadeiro.Four stallions were used, with a mean age of 3,88 ± 1,24. The right and left testicles were measured for length,width, height and total scrotal width. The testicular volume was also determined and histological fragmentswere removed parenchyma of testis stained with H-E. There was no statistical difference between the linearmeasurements of the right testis and left (P > 0,05). The weight of the testes showed differences (P < 0,05) dueto the characteristics of the evaluated animals (cryptorchidism, testicular asymmetry). Histologically, bothshowed edema and hemorrhage as testicular degeneration. Thus, the animals showed values of scrotalcircumference lower than expected for the species, and testicular diseases, not being considered fit toreproduction.(AU)
