The present study was conducted to study gross morphological and biometrical studies on the testes of 18 buffalo fetuses ageing from 8.0 cm to 90.0 cm CVR (65 to 277 days). The right testis was longer, broader, thicker, heavier and had more volume than that of left testis. There was a significant increase in all the biometrical parameters with the advancement of age of the fetus and no significant difference was recorded in the left and right testes. The shape of both the testes varied from rounded in group 1 to oval in group 2 and elongated in group 3. Both the testicles were attached to the latero-ventral aspect of the kidneys and were intra-abdominal at the age of 8.0 cm CVR (65 days). These started migrating into the inguinal region at 18.2 cm CVR (110 days) and descended into the scrotal sac by 75.0 cm CVR (243 days) of buffalo fetus.
