Degenerate detached heads, tightly coiled tails, and thickened midpieces were the prominent morphological defects, affecting 46%, 30%, and 15% of ejaculated spermatozoa, respectively. At necropsy, the diagnosis of testicular degeneration was made, characterized by focal, noninflammatory seminiferous tubule occlusion and mineralization, with a more generalized sloughing of tubular germinal epithelium. When examining spermatozoa morphology from various sites of the excurrent ducts, detached heads were readily seen in efferent duct fluid (&gt 30% incidence) and the coiled tails and other midpiece defects became prominent with passage through the caput epididymis.  aEpididymitis  aGoat diseases  aGoats  aMale genital diseases  aReproductive disorders  aSpermatozoa  aCaprino  aTestículo  aDoenca genital  aMacho1 aSIMPSON, D.
