Abstract

An abattoir survey of the female reproductive tracts of 80 camels was conducted to evaluate the gross and microscopic abnormalities. An incidence of (32.5%) of disorders was recorded from 26 female. 16 camels (20%) had uterine lesions and 10 camels (12.5%) had ovarian lesions. Salpingitis occurred in three camels (3.75%) that also had uterine inflammations. Uterine inflammations were 12 cases (16.25%), and they were classified as subacute haemorrhagic endometritis (2.5%), chronic lymphocytic endometritis and metritis (12.5%). Other uterine lesions were 10 cases (12.5%), including adenomyosis (3.75%), uterine serosal inclusion cyst (1.25%), calcification of uterine blood vessels (BV) (5%) and obliterative endarteritis (2.5%). The 10 th ovarian defects were ovarian inclusion cysts (2.5%), paraovarian cyst (1.25%), follicular cysts (2.5%), and finally, ovarian tumors, including hyperplasia of theca cells (1.25%), and (2.5%), of cystadenoma and a papilliferous cystadenoma. The study revealed that chronic meteritis and salpingitis were the important problems in female camel, and this change may cause infertility, so further studies is needed to determine the impact on camels' fertility and if treatments will prevent development of chronic types.
