| dc.description.abstract | A cross-sectional study was conducted on reproductive organs of Camelus dromedarius to characterize the pathological lesions and to isolate and identify possible bacterial causes of reproductive failures. Reproductive organs of 231 female dromedary camels (169 from Borana and 62 from Afar) were grossly inspected and sampled for further histopathological and bacteriological studies. Grossly 46(19.9%) camels were found with different types of reproductive organ disorders, (30 (J7.8%)from Borana and 16 (25.8%)from afar). Ovarian Follicular cyst (3.5%), ovarian hypoplasia (0.43%), ovarian tumor (0.87%), para-ovarian cyst (0.87%), irifundibular cyst (0.43%), uterine serosal cyst(0.43%), endometritis(J3.4%) and endometrial calcification (0.43%), were the identified disorders. The frequency of lesion occurrence did not show statistically significant difference (P>0.05) at different age groups and areas of origin,' whereas the occurrence of reproductive tract abnormalities were significantly different (p<0.05) between pregnant and non-pregnant camels with higher occurrence in non pregnant animals. Uterine abnormalities were the major disorders recorded in this study accounting for 31 (13. 4%). From 31 cases with endometritis 26 (83%) were positive for different types of bacterial cultures. Escherichia coli (38.7%) Staphylococcus spp (35.5%), Streptococcus spp (25%), Enteriobacter aeroginosa (16.1 %), Corynebacterium spp (J 2.7%), Proteous spp (9.7%), and Salmonella spp (6.5%) are bacteria isolates. In conclusion the finding of the present study suggests frequent detection of the diseases of dromedary female camels' reproductive organs. Considering the importance of Camelus dromedarius among the pastoral society of Ethiopia, there should be collaborative studies pertinent to reproductive health for the betterment of production and productivity of camels | en_US |
