Abstract

For the present study, 425 genitalia of non-descript buffalo cows aged 4 to 10 years with no breeding history were procured from the animals slaughtered in and around Tirupati. Cystic ovarian degeneration (COD) which includes follicular cyst (5.41%), luteal cyst (0.47%) & cystic corpus luteum (0.71%) was observed in 28 (6.59 %) genitalia. Sixteen genitalia (3.76%) showed mixed pathological conditions such as chronic endometritis with follicular cysts (3.29%) and chronic endometritis with luteal cysts (0.47%).
