“…The cause could be due to unhygienic management practices or ascending infections, though not life-threatening, it may cause embryonic loss by disruption of uterine tissue or by direct cytolysis of embryo [36] [37] [38] [39]. Chronic endometritis in this study was higher than reports of 3.8% [11], 3.9% [15], and 0.9% [40] in goats. Chronic endometritis is usually associated with varying degrees of infertility depending on the extent of endometrial damage.…”

“…Bilateral uterine agenesis, uterus unicornis (hemiuterus), segmental aplasia and uterus didelphys are described congenital anomalies of the uterus among others usually in association with freemartinism and genetical intersexuality (Jones et al 1997;Batista et al 2000;Timurkaan and Ozer 2002;Webb 1985). Uterus didelphys is characterized by the presence of completely separated cervices, each one leading to a separate uterine horn.…”

“…Double cervix is rare but when present can cause infertility (Sainio et al 1997). Cervical congenital anomalies are rare in goats, and most described cases have been associated with various forms of intersexuality such as freemartinism (Timurkaan and Ozer 2002;Morrow 1986). Spriggs (1946) reported that this condition is more common in some breeds of cattle like the Friesian, Herefords, Guernsey and Holstein.…”

“…While the incidence of congenital anomalies of the uterine tube is well defined in ewes (Kenneth 1990, Smith andothers 1998), in goats, only individual findings of congenital abnormalities in the uterus have been reported (Webb 1985, Timurkaan andÖzer 2002). This short communication describes the segmental aplasia of the uterine body associated with hydrometra in a goat, which, to the authors' knowledge, is the first report of this condition in a goat.…”
