Purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence and causes of testicular pathology of culling the boars from breeding herd. One hundred pairs of testis were collected randomly, twice a week from a slaughterhouse in Nakhon Pathom Province. They were weighed, measured and carefully macroscopic examined. Testicular tissue from each testis was cut and sent to the laboratory for microscopic examination. The results obtained 28 normal boars and 72 boars with testicular pathology. Among the 72 defected boars, there were 35 and 37 boars which had bilateral and unilateral of testicular lesions, respectively. The testicular lesions found were: testicular degeneration (56), testicular fibrosis (3), testicular atrophy (3), testicular necrosis (2), leydig cells hyperplasia (3) and hypoplasia of seminiferous tubules (3).
