Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the gynaeco-pathological disorders by post-mortem and histopathological examination, and to identify the associated bacteria. A total of 310 genital tracts of cows were collected from slaughter house of Dinajpur Sadar Upazilla during April 2009 to March 2010. Among the 310 samples, 31.29% (n=97/310) were affected with endrometritis. Similarly, 8.37% (n=26/310) cystic ovary, 6.77% (n=21/310) ovary hyperplasia, 4.84% (n=15/310) pyometra, 4.84% (n=15/310) parovarian cyst, 4.52% (n=14/310) hydrometra, 4.84% (n=15/310) ovary hypoplasia, 3.55%(n=11/310) ovaro-bursal adhesion, 1.29% (n=4/310) vaginal cyst and 0.66% (n=2/310)) hemorrhagic uterine horn were detected by post-mortem examination, the cases were reconfirmed by histopathological studies. Uterine fluid (n=50) samples were collected, and were subjected for conventional bacteriological culture and biochemical analysis. Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. could be identified from 30% (n=15/50) and 8% (n=4/50) samples, respectively. In conclusion, various pathological disorders in the female reproductive system of cows are prevalent, that may cause reduction of calf production.

Livestock is an integral part of agriculture, and cattle provides important source of animal protein
Sample collection: A total of 310 cattle were examined and female genital tract samples such as uterus, vagina, cervix and ovary were collected from the different abattoirs houses of Dinajpur Sadar Upazilla, Bangladesh, and the samples were transferred to the Laboratory at the Department of Microbiology, and the Department of Pathology and Parasitology of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology (HSTU) for necropsy, histo-pathological examination, and isolation and identification of the associated bacteria
31.29% (n=97/310) cases were detected as endometritis followed by 8.37% (n=26/310) cystic ovaries, 6.77% (n=21/310) ovarian hyperplasia, 4.84% (n=15/310) pyometra, 4.84% (n=15/310) parovarian cyst, 4.52% (n=14/310) hydrometra, 4.84% (n=15/310) ovarian hypoplasia, 3.55% (n=11/310) ovarobursal adhesions, 1.29% (n=4/310) vaginal cyst, and 0.65% (n=2/310) hemorrhage in ovary (Table 1 and 2); these findings were in agreement with the findings of Alam and Rahman (1979) who reported that 90% animals showed abnormalities in Dhaka slaughter house in which the most common abnormalities were recorded as ovarian cysts and pyometra
Summary
Livestock is an integral part of agriculture, and cattle provides important source of animal protein. Local breed and foreign breed cows become infertile due to defective breeding program, inadequate knowledge of rearing system, and faulty ration formulation. Infertility disorder in cows of Bangladesh is commonly seen because of poor nourishment, and using of low quality semen. The most common and economically important bacteria for uterine infection are Actinomyces spp., Escherichia coli, Fusobacterium spp., Pasteurella spp., eISSN 2311-7710. Nibret et al (2013) isolated and identified S. pyogenes, E. coli and Streptococcus spp. as most frequently associated bacteria for fertility problem. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the study of reproductive health problem in Dinajpur area of Bangladesh. The present study was designed to investigate the gynecopathological disorders of cows and identification of the associated bacteria with genital organs of cows in Dinajpur, Bangladesh
