Abstract

The present study was conducted on the testis of 18 buffalo foetii ageing rom 9.0-96.0 cm CVRL to study the sequence of descent of testis during fetal life in buffaloes. It was found that both the testes were present in the intra abdominal region at 9.0 cm CVRL and were placed to the latero-ventral aspect on the caudal end of kidneys.
At 18.2 cm CVRL the testis migrated into the inguinal region and then started descending towards the scrotum at 36.5 cm CVRL. This process continued and the testes were found to be fully descended into the scrotal sac by 75.0 cm CVRL of prenatal life.
