Abstract

Examining part of the genital system (ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus and cervix) of 3.308 cross-bred Brahama cows, slaughtered in slaughterhouses, the authors, among other findings, registered the following observations: Pregnant cows - normal: 2.024 (94.1%); with alterations: 129 (5.9%). Non-pregnant cows - normal: 446 (39.0%); with alterations: 709 (61.0%). They also found that in the pregnant cows the majority of lesions were in the ovaries (4.5%) and likewise with the non-pregnant cows (44.0%). We would like to state that the corpora lutea mentioned on table IV were, apparently active.
