A morphomeric study of testes from pigs at various ages was performed. The unilateral castration resulted in significant testicular hypertrophy of the remaining testis up to the age of 4 months while in 5- and 6-months old animals the increase in volume and weight of experimental organs was statistically insignificant compared to controls. The compensatory testicular hypertrophy, evaluated via the weight corresponded to a bigger diameter and area of seminiferous tubules of experimental testes.
