| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to conduct an abattoir survey on morbid genitalia of sheep (n=267) and goat (n=371) procured from local abattoirs in and around Palampur over a period of one and a half year from September 2010 to March 2012. A detailed gross morphological examination of the genital tracts involving the ovaries, uterus and cervix was carried out to study normal physiological status or detect any abnormality or disease condition and classified as normal, gravid or abnormal. The ovarian activity was assessed on the basis of presence or absence of corpora lutea (CL). To record seasonal variations, the genital tracts were examined for number of small and large follicles and CL. Out of total sheep genitalia examined, 227 (85.02%) were physiologically normal and 40 (14.98%) had one or more genital abnormalities. Examination of goat genitalia revealed that 279 (75.20%) were normal whereas 92 (24.80%) had genital abnormalities. Ovarian abnormalities were observed in 4.86 per cent of ewes. In goats, 10.24 per cent incidence of ovarian disorders was recorded. Uterine abnormalities were observed in 7.11 per cent of ewes, which included endometritis (0.37%), pyometra (1.87%), mucometra (1.49%), hydrometra (2.99%) and mummification (0.37%). In goats, 8.08 per cent cases of uterine abnormalities were recorded involving endometritis and pyometra (1.34% each), hydrometra (3.5%) and excessive hemorrhage (0.8%). Miscellaneous lesions such as parovarian cysts, parasitic cysts and nodules on outer surface of uterine horns were also evident. The uterine and ovarian abnormalities co-existed only in a few abattoir sheep or goat genitalia. Quite a good number of sheep (7.8%) and goats (11.59%) were pregnant. Right ovary was more active as compared to left in both the species. Significantly (p<0.05) higher mean number of corpora lutea was recorded during breeding season both in sheep (0.64±0.06 vs 0.39±0.06) and goats (0.76±0.05 vs 0.55±0.07). | en_US |
