The testes were procured from apparently healthy animals from private abattoir house in Bikaner. The testes were located in the perineal region. The left testis was larger and longer than right testis. Long axis of the testis was vertical in position. The parenchyma of testis was reddish grey in colour. The mediastinum testis was an axial strand of fibro-elastic tissue and white in colour. It was well developed. The parameters of length, breadth, thickness, circumference, volume and weight of left testes were non-significantly higher than right one.
