Title : ( Pathological study of the uterine tubes in non-pregnant camels (Camelus dromedarius) slaughtered in Yazd province, Iran. )
Authors: Hossein Nourani , A. Khodakaram Tafti , M. Kafi ,Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of uterine tube abnormalities of female camels. The uterine tubes of genital tracts of 96 slaughtered non-pregnant camels were examined grossly and microscopically. The pathological changes observed were salpingitis (2.08%), uterine tube duplication (1.04%), accessory uterine tubes (1.04%), segmental aplasia and hydrosalpinx with cystic hyperplasia of the uterine tubes, ovary and uterus (1.04%). The effects of these abnormalities on fertility of these camels were not detected because the history of their reproduction was not available. Uterine tube duplication, accessory uterine tubes and simultaneous occurrence of cystic changes in uterine tubes, ovary and uterus are reported in dromedary camels for the first time.
