Abstract :This study was carried out to determine the pathomorphologic changes and the incidence of these changes in the ovarium, oviduct and related ligaments of ewes slaughtered in Elazığ abattoirs. For this purpose, the genital organs of 6100 ewes of different breeds and ages were examined. There were pathomorphologic changes in 302 cases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.95%); in ovaries and 106 cases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.73%); in oviducts. These changes in and around ovaries were parovarian cysts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.41%);, corpus luteum cysts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.85%);, follicular cysts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.62%);, luteal cysts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.27%);, tuboovarian cysts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.06%);, oophoritis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.16%);, periovaritis-adhesions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.50%); and ovarian hypoplasia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.21%);. In the oviducts, salpingitis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.62%);, mesosalpingitis-adhesions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.60%);, hydrosalpinx insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.40%);, pyosalpinx insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.21%); and melanosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.19%); were recorded.
