摘要: This study was designed to evaluate the uteri of camels and cows slaughtered in north-eastern Nigeria with aim determining reproductive efficiency these species. Three hundred twenty-two (322) camelids 180 bovine were examined bacteriologically pathologically using standard protocols. The result showed that there 86 bacteria isolated from Staphylococcus aureus (46.5 %), Escherichia coli (33.8 %), other coliform species (18.6 %) being most prominent isolates; while cow, 92 isolates, E. (57.6 %), S. (15.2 %), Streptococcus pyogenes (12.0 %) frequently isolated. major isolates both similar, but higher isolation rate (p < 0.05) observed (51.1 %) than (26.7 %). relative risks (RR) infection significant camelids. gross pathological lesions lower (17.4 %) compared (19.4 %). These include mucometra (n = 25, 7.8 %; n = 21, 11.7 %) endometrial erosions (n = 31, 9.6 %; n = 5, 2.8 %) commonly cows, respectively, RR occurrence erosion cows. histopathological cellular vacuolation glands, sloughing epithelium, neutrophilic infiltration, among others. It concluded bacterial pathogens colonizing uterine environment species, associated inflammatory degenerative changes. disorders may have far-reaching implications for lowered
