Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of the Bovine Genital Tract Disorders

Abstract

Cows brought to the clinics (85) for pregnancy diagnosis or treatment of various reproductive problems were examined by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). The various problems  diagnosed were endometritis (23), post-partum  metritis (6), pyometra (13), mucometra (7),  follicular cyst (17), luteal cyst (5), abortion (2),  mummified foetus (3), macerated foetus (1),  adhesions (1), anoestrus (6) and ovarian abscess  (1), indicating that TRUS can be used efficiently  for diagnosing reproductive disorders and the  response to treatment thereafter.
