Abstract
A clinical study on recurrent genital prolapse and its management in cows was
carried out. The objectives of the present clinical study were to document clinical details,
categorize and classify the pattern of genital prolapse as well as to apply and assess
various therapeutic and surgical modalities for clinical management of the recurrent
genital prolapse in cows.
A clinical survey was conducted at different Gaushalas across the Saurashtra
region of Gujarat to record clinical details and to categorize and classify pattern of
genital prolapse of the cows. The detail of history regarding age, occurrence, duration
and degree of prolapse were recorded. Total 774 cows were surveyed amongst them 50
cows were found to be affected with genital prolapse. The prevalence rate of genital
prolapse was 6.4 per cent. These included: 31(62%) Gir, 8(16%) Kankrej and 11(22%)
nondescript cows. Twenty four cows having chronic genital prolapse varing between 2nd
to 4th degrees were selected for further study. Based on the nature and degree of prolapse
mass various surgical and therapeutic management strategies were instituted.
