Abstract
The present study was undertaken to assess the preval
and pathology of various cardiac disorders in cattle. The dat
collected from the autopsy records maintained at the Centre of
Excellence in Pathology, Mannuthy and hundred and one
stimples of heart obtained from both the slaughtered cattle and
necropsy cases formed the basis of the study. Fifty five per cent
hearts showed lesions of varying type. The highest incidence was
for sarcocystosis (45 per cent). Vascular lesions were present ir
33.8 per cent cases. Other myocardial lesions encountered were
myocardial degeneration, myocarditis and other
cardiomyopathies of unknown etiology. Endocardia]
fibroelastosis and valvular sclerosis were observed in four cases.
Valvular and coronary vessel lesions showed correlation with
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The incidence of pathological
disorders encountered were relatively high. The need and scope
for investigation into the pathological disorders of bovine heart
were highlightened.
