Resumo
The infection of the digital area is the most common cause
of lameness in cattle, leading to the rejection of highproduction
animals destined to reproduction. This study
aimed at histological and histomorphometric evaluations
of the testis of bovines with digital dermatitis. Different
portions of testis from 20 Nellore animals, ten healthy and
ten with digital dermatitis, between 25 and 30 months of
age, were analyzed. All analyzed testis showed some
degree of degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium.
Mononuclear interstitial infiltrate was observed in testis of
both healthy bovines and the ones with digital dermatitis.
Bovines with digital dermatitis presented higher height of
seminiferous tubular epithelium in all regions of testis,
larger area of the tubular lumen, and larger tubular
diameter. We concluded that young Nellore bovines show
different degrees of testicular degeneration, as well as
chronic nonspecific interstitial orchitis, unrelated to digital
dermatitis. The testis histomorphometric changes of these
animals are not related with foot disease.
