Abstract

A five-and-a-half-year-old crossbred Holstein Friesian cow was presented with a history of prolonged second-stage labor. According to the owner, the first water bag had appeared approximately seven hours prior to reporting to the Upazila Veterinary Hospital in Manoharganj, Cumilla, Bangladesh. Upon on-farm examination, a per-vaginal assessment revealed that the fetus was in a posterior presentation, and the fetal abdomen was markedly distended with fluid, giving it a characteristic "pufferfish-like" appearance. Based on clinical findings, a diagnosis of dystocia due to fetal ascites was established. To relieve the obstruction, a guarded fetotomy knife was used to make an incision in the fetal abdominal wall, allowing evacuation of the excessive peritoneal fluid. Following decompression, the non-viable male fetus was successfully delivered via gentle manual traction. The cow was subsequently treated for five days with antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and antihistamines. The post-operative recovery was uneventful, and the cow returned to normal physiological status without complications. This case highlights the clinical importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention in managing dystocia associated with fetal ascites in dairy cattle.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate and characterize the gross, histologic and ultrasonographic features of uterine caruncles in Bengal goats, an indigenous breed in Bangladesh.  A total of 40 uteri were collected from sexually mature, pregnant and non-pregnant does obtained from local slaughter houses, preserved and processed in for gross morphological and histological characterization of uterine caruncles. Additionally, transabdominal ultrasonographic characterization of uterine caruncles were performed on randomly selected does at a commercial goat farm. Gross examination revealed multiple dome-shaped caruncles distributed along the endometrial surface, primarily arranged in four longitudinal rows. In both cyclic and non-cyclic goats, the average number of uterine caruncles was higher in the left uterine horn (55.85) compared to the right (54.42), with a consistent average of 4.30 rows observed in both horns. Histological examination of the caruncles revealed dense connective tissue, numerous blood vessels, and abundant uterine glands. The surface epithelium ranged from simple cuboidal to columnar. Morphometric analysis showed that the large caruncles were located in the mid-uterine horns.  Transabdominal ultrasonography identified pregnancy in 7 of 20 does (35%) and visualized uterine cotyledons between days 32 and 40 of gestation. Measurement of cotyledons via ultrasound may serve as a reliable indicator of gestational age. These findings provide baseline data that may support reproductive research, enhance breeding management, and contribute to the assessment of reproductive performance and productivity of goats in Bangladesh.
