The present study examined a total of one hundred and fifty (150) genital tracts of female dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Maiduguri abattoir for ovarian and fallopian tube disorders and different pathological lesions recorded were 27 cases, equivalent to 18.0% prevalence. Assessment and measurement of the genital tracts identified obvious gross lesions based on appearances, type of lesion, location and frequency of occurrence. Luteal cysts, catarrhal salphingitis, hemorrhagic cyst, ovarian hydro-bursitis and suspected case of granulosa cell tumour were detected. Follicular tube cysts both as unilateral and bilateral and as singles or multiples were also detected. Four of the cysts were observed on the left ovary, one on the right ovary and a multifocal was observed on both ovaries. The luteal cysts were thick walled. The luteal cysts were mostly seen in the left ovary representing 12 of the 16 cases while the remaining 4 cases were associated with the right ovary. A case of hemorrhagic cyst was recorded. Ovarian hydro-bursitis was recorded as a single case. A suspected granulosa cell tumor was observed in the left ovary. The study affirmed that ovarian and fallopian tube abnormalities are common findings in one - humped female camels although camels can withstand lots of stress associated with infectious and non-infectious diseases. These pathologies are possible causes of reduced fertility in one-humped camel in the study area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
