摘要
A study was conducted to assess the type and prevalence of abnormalities occurring in the female reproductive tracts of 405 buffalo cows slaughtered at Mosul abattoir. Out of the 405 buffalo genital tracts examined, various abnormalities with different degrees of severity were observed in 216 (53.3%) of cases. Twenty-two (5.4%) were pregnant and the remaining 41.2% (167/405) were macroscopically normal. The most common abnormalities encountered were endometritis 50 (12.3%). Histological examination revealed a chronic endometritis (76%; 38/50), subacute endometritis (18 %; 9/50) and acute endometritis (6%; 3/50), while metritis cases (2.7%; 11/405) were of the chronic type of inflammation. All perimetritis cases (1.5%; 6/405) were characterized by increased thickness of uterine serosa with yellowish colored pus accumulation. Adhesions between vaginal serosa and rectum were observed. The parametritis cases (0.7%; 3/405) observed with severe absescess and yellowish colored content and hard consistency were found in the ligamentum lata and ligamentum intercornuale. One case of uterus didylphis was recorded. In conclusion, uterine abnormalities seem to be an important problem with possible subsequent infertility in buffalo cows in Mosul. The high proportions of endometritis and chronic metritis are the major problems in buffalo herds in Mosul leading to slaughter and economic losses.
