Abstract: The infection of the digital area is the most common cause of lameness in cattle, leading to the rejection of high-production animals destined to reproduction. This study aimed at histological and histomorphometric evaluations of the testis of bovines with digital dermatitis. Different portions of testis from 20 Nellore animals, ten healthy and ten with digital dermatitis, between 25 and 30 months of age, were analyzed. All analyzed testis showed some degree of degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium. Mono… Show more

“…However, quails with addition of 0%, 5%, and 10% presented testicular parenchyma with histological appearance within a normal range. Degeneration of the cells of the seminiferous tubule may result in loss of epithelial cells, resulting in decreased epithelial height, seminiferous tubule diameter, and testicular weight (SILVA et al, 2013). Thus, histomorphometric results obtained in the present study were in accordance with those verified in the biometric and histopathological analyses.…”
