Summary: The oviduct plays a key role in the reproduction providing an ideal environment for the oocyte maturation, sperm capacitation, fertilization, and gamete and embryo transport. Hydrosalpinx is a pathology that can occur uni or bilaterally in the oviduct, affecting the reproductive function. In goats, it is considered of low frequency. No malformation or segmental aplasia of the organ was detected. Adhesions were verified in both ovaries. It was concluded that the transrectal US exam associated with reproductive history represents an efficient tool in diagnosing hydrosalpinx in dairy goats.
