The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of high altitude on Saudi sheep and goat male fertility. Sheep and goats testicular tissues were collected from slaughterhouse at Taif governorate as high altitude (1800 meter above sea level) and Mekkah governorate as control (at sea level). Epididymal sperms were examined for sperm motility, live and abnormal percentage.
