Scrotal bipartition associated with preputial malformation in sheep Morada Nova: case report

The anatomical changes in the male reproductive system of sheep are rarely described, especially the scrotal bipartition condition. Due to the importance of clarification of this anatomical change, we aimed to describe a case of a Morada Nova sheep that had scrotal bipartition associated with preputial malformation. It was observed that this change may occur as a adaptability condition to tropical climates.
