Abstract

A total number of 874 specimens of the female genital tracts of sheep were collected, out of these, 311 specimens showing frank macroscopic lesions were further processed for histopathological examinations. The incidence of various types of cysts were recorded as Follicular cyst 4.18%, Lutein cyst 5.46%, Para ovarian cyst 3.86%, Rete ovarii and vestiges 2.57%, Multiple serous inclusion cysts 0.96%, Follicular atresia 2.89%, Anovular cord 2.57% and Folliculoid 3.53%.
