Abstract:
The present work was undertaken to study the gross details of the testis and its duct system in cats during pre-pubertal and post pubertal stages. For this, testes were obtained from 20 healthy tom cats showing no signs of illness. Various gross morphological parameters were recorded. The testes of cats were located within the scortum, oval in shape and reddish white in colour.The long axis of testis was running dorso- caudal to the long axis of the body. The epididymis was attached to the dorso- lateral surface of the testis. Significant difference was noticed in the weight, length, circumference and the volume of the testes in prepubertal and post pubertal groups.
