The rete testis was examined in the domestic goat (Capra hircus) by light microscopic means. Tissues were collected from 4 adult animals, fixed in bouin, Gendre, Zenker and in 10 % neutral formalin fixatives for histologic preparation. Paraffin embedded, 6 micron sections stained with Masson-Goldner and Hematoxylin and Eosin. The study of the rete testis was based on a model description of the human testis, and comparison are made with other species.
