Mummification of bovine fetuses is an uncommon condition, and cows do not always respond to treatment with prostaglandin F2alpha. The objective of the present retrospective and descriptive case study was to determine the conception rate and survival time of nonresponsive, prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha)-treated cows (n = 14), following hysterotomy or medical treatment and manual removal. Animal records from 1990 to 2005 from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vétérinaire (CHUV) of the Université de Montréal were studied. Inclusion criteria were the nonexpulsion of the mummified fetus following PF2alpha treatment and absence of concomitant conditions upon physical examination. Of the animals included in the study, 36% (n = 5) became pregnant after extraction of the mummified fetus by hysterotomy and 0% conceived after medical treatment and manual extraction. In this study, hysterotomy represented an effective approach for extracting mummified fetuses from cows that did not respond to PF2alpha treatment.
牛胎儿干尸化是一种罕见的情况,而且母牛对前列腺素F2α治疗并不总是有反应。本回顾性描述性病例研究的目的是确定经前列腺素F2α(PGF2α)治疗无反应的母牛(n = 14)在进行子宫切开术或药物治疗及人工取出后,其受孕率和存活时间。研究了蒙特利尔大学中心兽医院(CHUV)1990年至2005年的动物记录。纳入标准为PGF2α治疗后干尸化胎儿未排出且体格检查时无伴随病症。在纳入研究的动物中,36%(n = 5)在通过子宫切开术取出干尸化胎儿后怀孕,药物治疗及人工取出后受孕率为0%。在本研究中,子宫切开术是从对PGF2α治疗无反应的母牛中取出干尸化胎儿的有效方法。
