Abstract :

Abomasal ulcers are one of the most prevalent disorders of ruminants which depending on the type of ulcer, related clinical signs appear. The aim of this study, in addition to the microscopic survey of abomasal ulcer prevalence in sheep consuming pasture forages, is to evaluate the effect of age, sex and warm climate on its prevalence. At the first step, 1562 abattoirs (including 468 rams and 1094 ewes) were examined macroscopically. The age of all rams and ewes was estimated orderly: less than 12 months and more than 24 months as follow, which only 21 of them had the evidences of affliction. Furthermore for confirming the diagnosis, the taken samples were transferred to Pathology library. Results show that after microscopic inspections, which was apparent from those 21 cases, just 19 cases (14 ewes and 4 rams), 1.21 percent of total abattoirs, had abomasal ulcer types. All of 19 cases had all subtypes of type 1 abomasal ulcers which in addition, one of them had type 2 abomasal ulcers too. statistical analysis of this survey shown that, there was no relationship between the prevalence of sheep abomasal ulcers with age, sex, warm weather and consuming pasture forages (p>0.05).
