Advances in our understanding of ovarian cyclicity, pathogenesis of subfertility and/or infertility and reproductive pathology in food animals have frequently entailed examination of abattoir material. Despite the fact that most lesions in ewes are likely to be of relatively minor significance to fertility, results of previous studies suggest that lesions of the female reproductive system may represent a significant source of loss to sheep husbandry. The objective of this paper is to review the pathophysiology, the effects on reproductive efficiency and the key gross and histological diagnostic features of congenital and acquired pathology of ovary and tubular genital organs in ewes.
我们对卵巢周期性、不孕/不育的发病机制以及食品动物生殖病理学的理解的不断进步，经常需要检查屠宰材料。尽管事实上，母羊的大多数病变可能对生育力的影响相对较小，但之前的研究结果表明，女性生殖系统的病变可能是羊养殖业的一个重要损失源。本文的目的是综述母羊卵巢和管状生殖器官的先天性和获得性病变的病理生理学、对繁殖效率的影响以及主要的大体和组织学诊断特征。
