Female genital tracts of buffaloes (n=760) collected from different slaughter houses of Rajasthan (India) were examined, irrespective of age groups (8-15 years) and breeds. Out of these specimens, 266 (35.0%) suspected for abnormalities were selected and they revealed 323 pathologies in one, two or three organs in the same genital tract. Maximum pathological conditions were observed in the uterus (41.8%), followed by those in the ovaries (35.9%), cervix (9.6%), oviduct (7.7%) and vulvo-vagina (4.9%). Pathological conditions observed in the uterus included inflamatory conditions (16.09%), fibroma (0.3%) and miscellaneous conditions (25.3%) whereas, those in the ovary included oophoritis (2.7%), cystic ovaries (9.5%) and miscellaneous conditions (23.5%). Many of the observed conditions were difficult to be diagnosed through routine clinical procedures.
