Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the pathological conditions, n ovary and reproductive tract of does at slaughter. A total of 51 female genital tract samples together with ovaries from does > 1 and half year old were randomly collected from the slaughtered goats at. Mymensingh district abattoir from August 2004 to March 2005. After collection, representative tissue samples were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin and swabs were collected in sterilized tubes containing nutrient broth.. Tissues were processed, embedded in paraffin, sectioned and stained using standard hisiopathological techniques. Swabs were subjected for routine bacteriological' examinations. lmmunohistochemical examination was also performed on paraffin sections using 'a genus specific monoclonal anti-chlamydial antibody and DAKO TechMate immunperoxidase kit. Among these 51 does, 21 did not show lesion in the ovaries and in the uterine tract, uterus of 3 does contained early embryos and 27 does showed lesions either in ovaries or somewhere in the reproductive tract. The highest pathological conditions occurred in.the uterus 37.7 % (endometritis: 28%, endometritis plus salpingitis: 3.9%, endometritid plus cevicitis: 3.9% and adenomyosis: 1.9%) followed by the ovaries (Follicular cyst: 3.9%, par ovarian cyst: 3.9%, ophoritis. 1.9%, granulosa,theca cell tumor: 5.88%). Staphylococcus, Bacillus and Diplococcus were isolated from the uterine swab of 25 goats. Chlamydia could not be detected in any of the sections. Results showed that a large number of female goats slaughtered at . Mymensingh district abattoir affected with. reproductive abnormalities.
