Genital Tract Pathologies of Cows Slaughtered at El-Harrach Abattoir in Algeria

Bu çalışmanın amacı Cezayir'in başşehrinde yer alan El-Harrach kesimevinde kesilen 2025 inekte gözlenen genital kanal bozukluklarını belirlemek ve bu vakalarla alakalı mikroskopik değişiklikleri tanımlamaktır. Sonuçlar çok sayıda gebe hayvanın (%16.49) kesime gönderildiğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu vakaların da çoğu gebeliğin erken dönemlerindeydi. En sık karşılaşılan bozukluklar ovaryum kistleri, uterus enfeksiyonu ve salfinks yangısıydı. Bu durum kesim için getirilen hayvanların getirildikleri ahırlarda enfeksiyonun ve kontaminasyonun sürekli olduğunu göstermekteydi. Diğer gözlenen bozukluklar servisitis, mukometra, çift serviks, unicornis uterus, rahim boynuz malformasyonları, uterus tümörü, triple serviks (yeni bir bulgu olarak), salfinks yapışması, pyosalfinks, hidrosalfinks, ovarobursal yapışma, ovaryum inaktivitesi, ovaryumun yangısal değişimleri, ovaryum tümörü ve parovarian kistler olarak kaydedildi.

Cezayir'de El-Harrach Kesimevinde Kesilen İneklerdeki Genital Kanal Patolojileri

The aim of this study was to determine genital organ disorders in 2025 cows at El-Harrach abattoir in the capital of Algeria and to describe the microscopic changes associated with these cases. The results obtained showed a high incidence of slaughtered pregnant cows (16.49%). Majority of these cases were at the early gestation. The most frequently encountered defects were ovarian cyst, uterine infection, and inflammatory salpinx, which proved that contamination and infection are always present in the cowsheds from where animals were brought. Other observed abnormalities were cervicitis, mucometra, double cervix, unicornis uterus, horn malformation, uterine tumour, triple cervix (which is a new finding in the world), salpinx adhesion, pyosalpinx, hydrosalpinx, ovarobursal adhesion, ovarian inactivity, ovarian inflammatory changes, ovarian tumour and parovarian cysts.
