Cystic testicular tubular dilatation was seen in ducklings fed a ration containing furazolidone at 250, 400, 550, or 700 ppm for 28 days. Gross evidence of cystic testicular dilatation was observed at necropsy in 16% (32/203) of the ducklings that survived to the end of the study. Gross testicular lesions consisted of various degrees of enlargement with increased translucency in moderately to severely enlarged testicles. Histological evidence of cystic testicular dilatation was present in 45% (41/91) of the testicles examined. Histologically, the tubules were in various states of dilatation with attenuation of the seminiferous epithelium proportional to the severity of dilatation. In the most severely affected testicles, tubules were greatly dilated, distorted, and fluid-filled, with extensively flattened epithelium visible on the inner margin of the tubule as a thin rim of cytoplasm with a protuberant nucleus. Interstitial tissues were compressed to thin septa between the dilated tubules.
