Abstract
A 15-month-old Vietnamese miniature boar was examined because of suspected infertility. A breeding soundness examination was conducted, using electroejaculation under anesthesia for semen collection. Semen values were normal despite a subpubic location of the testes. Artificial insemination of a gilt with extended semen resulted in the birth of a litter 111 days later. Vietnamese potbellied boars have small and sometimes nearly undetectable scrotal pouches, which may cause the producer to question the fertility of the boars.
