Abstract

Out of total female sheep (crossbred; Gaddi Merino crosses) genitalia (n=267) collected for one and half year from unorganised abattoirs in and around Palampur showed 85.02% (n=227) physiologically normal, 14.98% (n=40) genital abnormalities. Miscellaneous lesions (2.99%) such as parovarian cysts, parasitic cysts and nodules on outer surface of uterine horns were seen.
