This study was aimed to declare the role of epididymal passage on semen features, DNA integrity and ultrastructures changes in dromedary camel. The testes with attached epididymis of mature dromedary camels (n=50)
were collected during the rutting season from December to April. The harvested spermatozoa from the three-main
anatomical epididymal segments (Head, body and tail) were assessed for semen characters, DNA integrity as well as,
ultra-structural changes. A significant difference in semen features (individual motility, sperm count, membrane and
acrosome intactness, viability, normality, maturity, abnormalities and acrosome length and perimeter) among different
epididymal segments. Spermatozoa from epididymal tail showed a significantly (p
