The first description of a familial immotile cilia syndrome diagnosed through ovario-hysterectomy in six siblings of pigs has been performed. This report may indicate another possible cause of reproductive failure in domestic animals. In fact, the immotile cilia syndrome has not been considered from this point of view in veterinary medicine. This case emphasizes that a study about ciliary motility in the female reproductive tract in domestic animals is absolutely necessary to improve current knowledge about different causes of infertility. Up to date, it remains unknown what degree of ciliary motility is necessary for mammalian fertility in females.
