The aim of this study is to investigate cytological, microbiological and histopathological findings of the genital tracts in cows with different degree perineal conformation (PC) disorder. Totally, 28 cows brought the slaughterhouse were materials of the study. Information about to age, body weight, reproductive status, number of parturitions, days in milk (DIM) and the reason for slaughtering of the cows was obtained in the anamnesis learned from the owners. Before slaughtering, cows were evaluated in terms of PC and then they were divided into four groups with equal numbers of cows according to PC disorders: group I (GRI) normal; group II (GRII) mild; group III (GRIII) moderate and group IV (GRIV) severe. PC disorders of the cows were graded on a scale in terms of vulvar angle, vulvar length over ischial arch, depth of anus and perineal length. A body condition score (BCS) was also evaluated in the cows. The perineal region and vagina were inspected for vaginal discharge and vaginal mucosal appearance, respectively. Pneumovagina was classified as negative, suspicious and positive. Sterile swab samples were taken from vagina, cervix and uterus for bacteriological culture and identification. For cytological examination, smears were taken from vagina, cervix and uterus. Tissue samples were taken from vagina, cervix and uterus for histopathological examination. Statistically, Pearson's correlation, Fisher's exact tests and regression analysis were performed for all data. Clinically, characters of the vaginal discharge (serous, foamy, mucous, purulent and urine-mixed) and vaginal hyperemia increased in GRIII and GRIV. Microbiologically, as parallel to the PC disorder, E. coli in Enterobacteriaceae family was the most common bacterium in Group III and Group IV. As PC disorder in the groups increased, cytological examination findings were found to be significant, similar to clinical and microbiological examination. However, histopathological examination gave more meaningful results in groups. Statistic results pointed out that difference between the groups in terms of vaginal mucosa color, cervical and uterine microbiology was significant. In conclusion, PC disorder in cows constitutes predisposition for many genital canal diseases that may be the cause of infertility. The presence of genital canal diseases can be suspected in cattle using the PC scale. Therefore, it is appropriate to evaluate the health status of the genital canal with other diagnostic methods (microbiology, cytology and histopathology), especially in cows with PC disorder.
Unilateral ovariohysterectomy due to incarcerated uterine horn in a pregnant ewe with ventral hernia
(Mezogazda Kiado Kft, 2020-06-01) Intas, Kamil Seyrek; Kocaturk, Meric; KOCATÜRK, MERİÇ; Salci, Emsal Sinem Ozdemir; ÖZDEMİR SALCI, EMSAL SİNEM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.; 0000-0002-2849-1222; V-5578-2017; AAH-5294-2021
Background: Ventral hernias are commonly diagnosed is ewes and other animals, which are likely to occur during pregnancy, due to the increased abdominal content. Hernias in pregnant animals might contain the uterus with dead or live foetus inside. Caesarean section and ovariohysterectomy can be indicated to solve these cases. In case of unilateral ovariohysterectomy, fertility of the animal can be preserved.Objectives: The aim of this article is to present a case, where unilateral ovariohysterectomy was performed on a pregnant ewe which had ventral hernia containing one uterine horn and a dead foetus inside, however the other uterine horn had a viable foetus in the abdomen.Case presentation: A 5-year-old, curly-fleeced breed, pregnant (at 145th day) ewe was presented with the complaint of recumbency, anorexia and focal abdominal swelling. On physical examination the swelling was 30 cm in diameter on the ventral abdomen. Palpation of the swelling was painful and contained a herniated uterine horn with the incarcerated head and extremities of a foetus. Ultrasonography confirmed the dead foetus in the incarcerated uterine horn but the foetus in the other uterine horn was alive. Under general anaesthesia, caesarean section was performed with routine lateral abdominal approach. Appearance of the uterine horn in the hernial sac was ischemic and showed necrosis. Following uterine incision, a dead foetus, necrotic uterine content and placentomes were observed. Considering further fertility of the ewe, unilateral ovariohysterectomy was performed, because the other uterine horn contained a viable foetus inside. The ewe and its newborn lamb were discharged without any complication.Conclusion: Unilateral ovariohysterectomy can be a useful tool in the management of ventral hernias in ewe, when the aim is to preserve the animal's fertility.
