Abstract

In the present study, pulmonary lesions were observed in 165 (15.28%) sheep out of 1080 sheep screened at slaughter. Among these lesions, pneumonia alone was encountered in 98(9.07%) sheep followed by pulmonary hemorrhage in 24(2.22%), pulmonary emphysema in 23(2.13%), pulmonary edema in 18(1.67%) and pulmonary hydatidosis in 2(0.18%) sheep. The bronchopneumonia was found to be common variety in 89(53.94%) sheep followed by interstitial pneumonia in 9(5.45%) sheep. The gross and microscopic changes of the pulmonary affections are discussed.
