The objective of this study was to evaluate comparatively the scrotum, scrotal circumference of thebreed rams Santa Ines and mestizos (Dorper + Santa Inês) created under intensive system. Used four rams eachrace healthy, aged between 18 and 24 months and scores ranging from 3 to 3.5. There were two collections ofscrotum-testis to determine the characteristics for each group, seven days apart. The data were submitted toanalysis of variance (ANOVA) for a randomized block design. The variables analyzed were submitted to Tukeytest at 5% probability, to compare the scrotum-testicular parameters between the races. Based on the resultsobtained, it is concluded that the scrotum-testicular parameters animal Santa Inês and mestizos (Dorper + SantaInês) created under confinement do not differ significantly (P <0.05).(AU)
