| Abstract | ||
| The ewes are one of the most important ruminants in Iraq due to their great economic value. This study highlighted visible microscopic lesions on the female reproductive system of ewes reflect the likelihood of developing tumors that cause significant economic losses. Samples were collected from Basrah abattoir in southern Iraq, from the beginning of September 2019 to the end of December 2019. Samples of 60 suspected abnormal masses were obtained, that showed various microscopic lesions in the female reproductive system of ewes. The microscopic tumors were divided into two positive groups of 36 cases out of 60 suspected abnormal masses: Ovarian tumors 12 cases (20%), and uterine tumors 24 cases (40%). The current study confirms that the tumors of the female reproductive system of the benign type in the uterus only, while in the ovary tumors are benign and malignant types. The tumors of the female reproductive system of ewes are among the most complex health problems facing these animals | ||
