Uterus didelphys is a congenital defect of monotocous species. This short contribution describes the condition in a cow that had a pregnancy in the right horn and a corpus luteum on the ipsilateral ovary. This finding demonstrates that pregnancy can occur in a cow with uterus didelphys, although the fate of the pregnancy was obviously not known. The case was identified during routine collection of reproductive tracts in a New Zealand abattoir. It is believed to be the first report of uterus didelphys in a bovine abattoir specimen.
双子宫是单胎物种的一种先天性缺陷。本短文描述了一头母牛的这种情况,该母牛右侧子宫角妊娠且同侧卵巢有黄体。这一发现表明双子宫母牛可以怀孕,尽管妊娠结局显然未知。该病例是在新西兰一家屠宰场常规收集生殖道时发现的。据信这是牛屠宰场标本中双子宫的首例报告。
