Abstract

The present study was aimed to assess the type and prevalence of gross and microscopic lesions in ovaries of buffaloes obtained from abattoir. The prevalence of abnormalities of uterus were highest (17.02%; 181 samples) followed by ovaries (7.98%; 85 samples) among ten different types of anatomic abnormalities with overall prevalence of 29.83% (317/1062). Among the 85 ovarian lesions, the most observed lesions were sub active ovaries (34.11%), par ovarian cyst (20%), ovarobursal adhesion (20%), and cystic ovary (20%).

To decipher ovarian hypofunction and other abnormalities, per-rectal examination and transrectal ultrasonography is used with variable degree of success to diagnose unilateral small sized pathological affections. In addition to visualize reproductive organs, ultrasonography also helpful to assess morphotype, localization, number, and size as well as shape of internal formations. The project sought to procure basic data for further investigation that would enable providing scientific support for methods to boost production through full utilization of the bubaline genetic potential.
