Abstract
A wild 5-yr-old red deer (Cervus elaphus) was culled from a privately owned herd because of deformed antlers, retained velvet and bilateral symmetrical testicular hypogonadism. The clinical and pathological cha nges seen in this deer were most consistent with congenital hypoplasia , but testicular atrophy was an alternative possibility for the etiolo gy of their condition.
