    (Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Bikaner, 2020) Narendra Kumar Nogia; Dr. Vikas Galav
    Animal husbandry is a major economic activity among rural people, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of the Rajasthan. Total cattle population in India is 192.49 million. In Rajasthan, cattle population increased by 4.41 % to 13.9 millions in year 2019 with Jaipur contributing 6,34,941 cattle heads supporting animal production. With rich livestock, animal husbandry contributes 10% to the agriculture GDP of the state. Healthy livestock represents the most valuable and renewable resource for an Indian farmer and like all other animals, cattle too are prone to various infectious and non-infectious diseases that may lead to drop in production and economy. Pathological study of urinary system is very important as renal diseases are likely to bear a major segment of total burden of diseases. Kidney being the major organ of urinary system, was the major target organ of study and tissues from associated structures like ureter, urinary bladder and urethra were collected only if grossly suspected for abnormalities. A total of 118 samples of kidneys and 28 samples of lower urinary tract were collected and further processed for histopathological examination by classical H & E technique. The overall occurrence of various pathological conditions of cattle urinary system were observed and classified for kidney pathologies as Congestion 17.00 per cent, Haemorrhage 7.60 per cent, Hydronephrosis 3.40 per cent, Hyaline Degeneration 5.90 per cent, Renal Amyloidosis 3.40 per cent, Tubular Nephrosis 3.40 per cent, Acute Glomerulonephritis 7.60 per cent, Sub-acute Glomerulonephritis 9.30 per cent, Chronic Glomerulonephritis 5.90 per cent, Diffuse Interstitial Nephritis 14.40 per cent, Focal Interstitial Nephritis 11.90 per cent, Pyelonephritis 4.30 per cent, Renal Abcess 1.70 per cent, Retention Cyst 2.50 per cent and Renal Toxicity 1.70 per cent. The incidence of various pathologies of lower urinary tract observed as Ureteritis 3.60 per cent, Acute Cystitis 7.10 per cent, Chronic Cystitis 3.60 per cent and Urethritis 3.60 per cent. Study concluded that interstitial nephritis, circulatory disturbance and glomerulonephritis in kidney and cystitis in lower urinary tract were the main leading pathological conditions among cattle in Jaipur.
