1- Aplasia of the fallopian tube:
- It is the absence of one or both tubes due to the arrested growth of the anterior third
of the Mullerian ducts.
- It is associated with agenesis or segmental aplasia of the uterus.
- It may be unilateral or bilateral, partial or complete.
- In unilateral aplasia, the fertility is reduced.
- In bilateral aplasia, the animal is sterile.
- The animal shows estrus as the ovaries are normally developed and active.
2- Occlusion of the fallopian tubes.
- The Mullerian duct fails to canalize.
- It may be bilateral or unilateral.
- In unilateral cases, the fertility is reduced.
- In bilateral cases, the animal is sterile.
- Cystic dilatation of the fallopian tube is the sequence of occlusion of the fallopian tubes.
