Abstract EN
A total of 300 genital tracts of adult female sheep were obtained from Kafr-Elshiekh, El-Mahala and El-Basatein abattoirs.
112 cases(37.33%) showed lesions.
Combinations of lesions in the examined genital tracts were more frequently seen than single lesions.
The uterus was the most affected (27.3%) followed by the ovary (23%).
Ovarian lesions were associated with 55 cases of uterine lesions followed by fallopian tube lesions in were found in 33 ewes(11%) and then cervical lesions in 22 ewes(7.3%) were present .
Ovarian abnormalities were ovariobursal adhesions(11%), cystic ovaries(5 %), oophoritis (2%).
The fallopian tubes abnormalities were(12%), adhesions (4.3%), salpingitis (3%), cystic fallopian tube (1.66%), hydrosalpinx (1%), pyosalpinx (0.66%), fallopian tubes occlusion(0.33%), squmous metaplasia (0.33%), and pachsalpinx (0.66%).The uterine abnormalities were usually associated with ovarian lesions.
The most common uterine lesions were cystic endometrial hyperplasia found in 9% followed by endometritis in 8.3%.
Catarrhal endometritis was the most common type of uterine inflammation followed by suppurative and least common was the granulomatous inflammation.
Incidence of cervical lesions were the lowest and mostly were inflammatory lesions.
Well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was also recorded for the first time in ewe.
