| Abstract | ||
| The study was conducted to assess the prevalence and type of female reproductive tracts abnormalities in buffalo cows, and to evaluate the rectal examination for diagnosis of these abnormalities in comparison with expletory laparotomy. Out of 15 buffalo herds which included 1080 cows, 42 (3.88%) cows were examined clinically and diagnosed through the case history and rectal examination. These cows were suffering from reproductive tracts abnormalities, 23 (2.12%) cows have one type of abnormalities, while the remaining 19 (1.76%) were having two or more abnormalities. The abnormalities that were diagnosed as a single affection were include; sever and moderate ovarobursal adhesions in 8 (19.04%) and 2 (4.76%) cows, respectively, hydrosalpinx in 6 (14.28%) cows, packysalpinx in 5 (11.9%) cows and uterine adhesions in 2 (4.76%) cows. In buffalo cows that having two or more abnormalities, 13 (30.95%) and 2 (4.76%) cows were suffering from hydrosalpinx with severe and moderate ovarobursal adhesions, respectively. Hydrosalpinx with Uterine adhesions also packysalpinx with severe ovarobursal adhesions was observed in one cow (2.38%), while 2 (4.76%) buffalo cows were suffered from severe ovarobursal adhesions with Uterine adhesions. The study was concluded that rectal examination is an efficient method for diagnosis of buffalo female genital system abnormalities in comparison with expletory laparotomy, and can be used successfully for examination and diagnosis of abnormalities before slaughtering. | ||
