Abstract
The aim of the work to observe the anatomy (gross and biometrical) of the epididymis and ductus deferens of adult Khaki Campbell duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus). The experimental Khaki Campbell ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) were collected from poultry farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh from July 2017 to June 2018 . The condition of the health of the birds was apparently good. No external deformities were observed in the birds. The epididymis was closely attached along the entire length of the dorso-medial border of the testis. The cranial part was closely associated with the capsule of the adrenal gland and it was extensive for left epididymis. The ductus deferens was convoluted and wavy in appearance. It started at the caudal end of the epididymis and ran parallel to the midline and extends to the cloaca parallel to the respective ureter. The present study revealed that the gross anatomical structure of the epididymis and ductus deferens of the Khaki Campbell duck was similar to that of the other avian species.

Key Words: Gross anatomy, Biometry, Epididymis, Ductus deferens and Khaki Campbell duck.
