Abstract
A 3-year old horned buck of the Toggenburger breed was referred to our clinic with signs of gynecomastia. Cytogenetic abnormalities could no t be detected in the karyogram and compared to control animals the buc k had normal plasma concentrations of testosterone and estradiol but n ot prolactin. Hyperprolactinemia has been considered the cause of gyne comastia leaving the semen quality undisturbed.
