Abstract
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.
