Abstract

A MODIFIED approach in testicular biometry in boars is described. Twelve mature Large White pigs were used for this study. Half the major axis of the testis (a) and the square of half the minor axis [b2] were highly significantly correlated with both testicular weight and testicular volume. The multiple correlations between a and b2 and the testis weight and testis volume were respectively 0.94 and 0.96 and equally highly significant. 
 The testicular weights and volumes calculated with the multiple regression equations obtained in this study accounted for 99% and 97% of the actual values respectively.
