“…Inflammatory cell infiltration such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages in endometrial tissue was an indicator of endometrial inflammation in Aceh cattle with RB caused by subacute and chronic bacterial infection. [26] stated that inflammatory cell infiltration in goats with endometritis shows the categories of inflammation, namely acute, subacute, and chronic phases. In the acute phase, neutrophils could be found in the caruncle, intercaruncular, and uterine glands.…”

Objective: This study aimed to observe the changes in anatomical pathology, histopathology, and histomorphometry of uterine horn in Aceh cattle with repeat breeding (RB). Materials and methods: In this study, five uterine horns were collected from fertile Aceh cattle (N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5) and Aceh cattle with RB (RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4, and RB5). Changes in the anatomical pathology of uterine horn were observed prior to histopathological preparations. The results were analyzed descriptively. Results: The observation of anatomical pathology revealed that the uterus of fertile cattle was yellowish white with horn-like shape consisting of hollow muscles, while RB cattle were reddish-pale. Furthermore, uterine horn swelling with purulent exudate was observed in the uterine horn of RB1 and RB4, while swelling with serous exudates was found in RB2, RB3, and RB5. Thin-walled uterine horn with caruncular atrophy was observed only in RB3. Histopathological observations showed erosion and hyperplasia of endometrial columnar epithelial and uterine glands in RB1, RB2, RB4, and RB5. Atrophy of uterine gland was found in RB3 and edema of caruncular was observed in RB1 and RB4. In addition, hemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration (neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages) were found in all RB cattle. Histologically, cow uterus is divided into three layers, endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium with the uterine gland found in the endometrium. Histomorphometric measurements found that the uterine horn wall (endometrial, myometrial, and perimetrium) of RB cattle were thicker than of fertile Aceh cattle, 208.06 ± 39.90 vs. 187.39 ± 29.09 μm, 400.138 ± 51.96 vs. 277.91 ± 42.88 μm, and 23.59 ± 9.67 vs. 18.53 ± 4.40 μm. However, the endometrial gland diameter of RB cattle is smaller than that of fertile Aceh cattle, 4.04 ± 0.88 vs. 4.99 ± 1.37 μm. Conclusion: The changes in anatomical pathology and histopathology of the uterine horn of Aceh cattle with RB indicate endometritis which caused by subacute and chronic bacterial infections. Endometritis causes disrupted blood circulation, which is characterized by hemorrhage, edema, and thickening of the endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium, resulting in an increased diameter of the endometrial gland in RB Aceh cattle.

“…Cystic endometrial hyperplasia or glandular endometrial cysts are consequences of hormonal disorders, especially hyperestrogenism, which are rare in ruminants and more common in cats and dogs [37,38]. This pathology differs from the endometrial cysts, which are primarily found in senile mares, as a result of lymphatic obstruction associated with fibrosis and dilatation [37,39]. In ruminants, these complications are usually related to the constant and prolonged intake of phytoestrogens, which are present in poisonous plants and can also be produced by fungi [40,41].…”

This study reports the occurrence and appearance of various reproductive tract pathologies of small ruminants diagnosed using ultrasound. An eight-year retrospective study of collected ultrasound data was carried out in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil from September 2012 to July 2020. A total of 3463 animals from 16 sheep flocks and 10 dairy goat flocks, raised under extensive and intensive management systems, respectively, were used in the study. All animals were submitted to an ultrasound examination of their reproductive tract. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test (p < 0.05), to compare disorder frequencies within and between species. Ewes (4.14%) had fewer reproductive disorders than does (8.98%), while rams (43.63%) and bucks (56.25%) presented no significant differences. Hydrometra was the most frequent finding in does, represented by 50.98% of cases; while, in ewes, recent fetal loss (22.85%) and cystic endometrial hyperplasia (20.00%) were the most frequent. In bucks, the findings showed no clear differences; while, for rams, the most frequent finding was testicular microlithiasis (75.00%). Ultrasonography offers clinically useful information about the reproductive tract via the images it provides; knowledge of which makes it possible to improve the diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of genital pathologies.

“…Due to the relevance of reproductive diseases for the bovine dairy industry, the bulk of literature on puerperal endometritis or metritis has focused on cattle diseases, 10,11,17,23 with fewer reports dedicated to small ruminants. 20 In goats, acute puerperal metritis (APM) is characterized by a dark red, malodorous uterine discharge, and complicated cases may result in peritonitis, involving agents such as Staphylococcus aureus , Pasteurella sp., and coliforms. 14,23 As in other ruminants, APM is typically preceded by an abnormal parturition due to twin births, dystocia, placental retention, or trauma of the birth canal.…”

Paeniclostridium sordellii–associated peripartum metritis in goats

Paeniclostridium sordellii is involved in enteric and histotoxic infections in several animal species. In humans, P. sordellii has been linked to gynecological disease, an association not previously investigated in animals. To unveil a potential association of P. sordellii with veterinary reproductive disease, a retrospective search of the database of the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System (1990–2020) was conducted and identified 9 cases of goats with P. sordellii-associated metritis or endometritis that were confirmed by immunofluorescence antibody test and/or bacterial isolation, and often co-colonized by Escherichia coli. Six of 9 does were also copper deficient. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded uterine tissue identified the sordellilysin gene in all 9 cases, and the lethal toxin gene in 4. Our findings suggest goats could be predisposed to P. sordellii-associated endometritis/metritis and toxemia when co-infected with E. coli. The role of mineral deficiencies influencing vulnerability to puerperal bacterial infections in goats is possible but remains undetermined. To our knowledge, this is the first report documenting the association of P. sordellii with veterinary gynecological disease.
