ABSTRACT
Gross and biometrical study was conducted on male reproductive system of 12 apparently healthy adult male Uttara fowl birds. The testicles were elongated bean shaped and creamy in appearance. The left testis was larger and heavier, while the right one was smaller and lighter. The epididymis was located on the dorsomedial aspect of the testis. The anterior part was closely associated with the adrenal gland and it was particularly extensive for left epididymis. The paired ductus deferens was convoluted and wavy in adult birds. It began at the caudal end of the epididymis and extends to the cloaca parallel to the respective ureter.
Key words: Biometry, Male reproductive system, Uttara fowl
