Abstract	This study describes a high incidence of testicular hypoplasia observed during breeding soundness examination conducted on a commercial farm in Mato Grosso do Sul state. Sixty-eight Brangus-Ibage bulls aged between 36 and 48 months were evaluated and eight animals were diagnosed with testicular hypoplasia, which corresponded to an incidence of 11.8%. The hypoplasic animals presented flaccid testicular consistency and small size of scrotal circumference (mean of 28.9 cm) compared with the other animals evaluated, which presented a firm-elastic testicular consistency and mean of 36.6 cm for scrotal circumference. In the semen evaluation of hypoplasic animals, low progressive motility (mean of 47%) and high percentage of major and total defects (means of 56% and 62%, respectively) were observed. The animals that were approved in the breeding soundness examination presented mean progressive motility, major defects and total defects of 68%, 17% and 23%, respectively. Given the genetic character of testicular hypoplasia, the immediate removal of hypoplasic animals from breeding was recommended. Finally, it was suggested to investigate the origin of these animals in order to avoid that new animals from this lineage are acquired by the owner.
