Abstract Out of 470 sheep were examined in abattoirs from different localities in Menofiya governorate (Shibin El-Kom, Elshohadaa, Quesna, Albtanon and Ashmon). 125 livers (26.596%), 140 (29.79%) lungs and 120 superficial lymph nodes (25.532%) revealed different gross pathological lesions. About 90 cases from examined livers showed parasitic infistation with an incidence of 72%. The parasitic infestation varying from facioliasis 50 cases (40%), hepatic capilariasis 10 cases (8%) and cysticercosis 30 cases (24%). hepatic abscesses 35cases (28%) with total incidence 10.7%, 2.13%, 6.4% and 7.45% respictevly. The incidence of hepatic lesions in adults and young sheep was 58.4% and 41.6% respectively. The incidence of hepatic lesions in male and female was 28.8% and 71.2% respectively with significant correlation between them. The incidence of hepatic lesions in winter was (40%), spring (8%), summer (32%) and autumn (20%) with significant correlation between them. The main lesions in lung of important value were bronchitis and bronchiolitis (12.1%), alveolar emphysema (10.7%), hyperemia and hemorrhage (12.1%), pulmonary edema (5.76%), suppurative pneumonia (17.8%), catarrhal bronchopneumonia (5.74%), interstitial pneumonia (5.74%) and fibrinous pneumonia (30.3%). The incidence of lung lesions in young was 61.43% and adult sheep 38.57%. The incidence of lung lesions in males was 39.3% and females 60.7%. The incidence of lung lesions in winter was 30%, spring25%, summer 11.43% and autumn33.57%. During examination of superficial lymph nodes of slaughtered sheep; 120 cases found to have caseous lymphadenitis with incidence 25.53%. the incidence of caseous lymphadenitis in young was 25%and old sheep 75%. Our study also showed that the incidence of caseous lymphadenitis in males was 33.33% and females 66.67%. The incidence of caseous lymphadenitis in winter was 8.33%, spring 33.33%, summer 41.67%, and autumn 16.67% with significant correlation between them. |
