“…The prevalence of the syndrome in our study (4.3%) was approximately similar to the 6.5% reported by Ali et al (2011a). Previous slaughterhouse surveys showed a wide range of prevalence rates of ovarian hydrobursitis varying from 1.95% (Al-Afaleq et al, 2012) to 16% (Ali et al, 1992).…”

“…This was because a significant percentage of active ovaries (about 72.3%) were observed in the affected samples, were CLs, as well as follicles, found on the ovaries, in support of previous works finding that the ovary of the affected side was functionally active (Ali et al, 2011a). Ovulation would have occurred but without successful fertilization.…”

“…Regarding the association of bursal affection with peri-uterine adhesion, pyometra and paraovarian cysts, observed in our study, Ali et al (2011a) reported that ovarian hydrobursitis was associated with purulent endometritis, adhesions of the uterus and vagina, closed cervix and pyometra, vaginal adhesion and pyometra, and enlargement of the fallopian tube. Tibary and Anouassi (2001) stated that in some cases, the hydrobursitis was associated to salpingitis which could suggest the involvement of infection or an acute inflammatory process with occlusion of the oviduct.…”

“…The contribution of reproductive diseases in lowering the reproductive efficiency in this species is largely unknown. Ovarian hydrobursitis is responsible for large number of long standing infertility problems in dromedary camels characterized by adhesion, fluid accumulation and encapsulation of the ovary (Tibary and Anouassi, 2001;Ali et al, 2011a). This syndrome is manifested by early embryonic death, abortion, repeat breeding, and refuses mating (Ali et al, 2011a,b).…”

The aims of the present study were to investigate the prevalence of ovarian hydrobursitis, and its pathologic and histopathologic characteristics in slaughtered female camels. The reproductive tracts of 740 female camels were collected and examined from January 2011 to February 2013, in two abattoirs from southeast Algeria. Ovarian hydrobursitis was observed in 32 reproductive tracts (4.32%); unilaterally (n=17) or bilaterally (n=15). The frequency of right side and left side ovarian hydrobursitis was not significantly different. It was associated with peri-uterine adhesion, pyometra, and paraovarian cysts. The affection was observed in some pregnant cases. Microscopic examination revealed diffuse edema, capillary congestion, infiltration, and heavy infiltration of mononuclear cellular, cystic dilatation of multi-acinal structures, desquamation and hyperplasia of the epithelial lining, tiny hemorrhages, and a large number of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. In conclusion, this study has identified the prevalence and the main anatomical and histopathological features the ovarian hydrobursitis. This syndrome is a serious problem affecting the fertility in dromedary camel in Algeria.

A survey of 7122 dromedary camels in 115 herds in Saudi Arabia was used to estimate the effects of herd size (HZ; < 25 vs. 25-49 vs. 50-100 vs. > 100 camels), herder/camels ratio (H/C; 1:< 25 vs. 1:25-50 vs. 1:> 50), manager experience (ME; < 5 vs. 5-10 vs. > 10 years), male/females ratio (M/F), housing system (HS; free vs. closed vs. mixed), length of the breeding season (winter vs. winter and spring vs. fall, winter and spring), age at first mating (3 vs. > 3 years), and time of mating after parturition (≤ 3 vs. > 3 months) and their interactions on the overall pregnancy rate. Barren females of these herds (n = 886) were examined for the causes of infertility. Results showed that herds with H/C of 1:< 25 had higher overall pregnancy rate (95.29%) than herds with H/C of 1:25-50 (79.84%) and those with H/C of 1:> 50 (72.79%) (p = 0.003). Herds having ME of > 10 years revealed greater overall pregnancy rate (94.89%) than herds with ME of 5-10 years (80.54%) and those with ME of < 5 years (72.5%) (p = 0.001). There were significant interactions between H/C × HZ (p = 0.003), H/C × HS (p = 0.006), and ME × HS (p = 0.02). The overall pregnancy rate did not significantly differ between herds bred females by age of 3 years and those bred females by age > 3 years and in females bred within 3 months after parturition and in those bred after 3 months. The mean calving interval was shorter (p = 0.008) in camels mated within 3 months of parturition (15.25 ± 2.8 months) than in those mated after that time (24.33 ± 6.5 months). Clinical endometritis, ovarian hydrobursitis, and vaginal adhesions were the common clinical findings in barren females. Thus, efforts to reduce the age at first mating and the interval after calving, increase the number of herders/camels, and control reproductive disorders could improve the reproductive performance and quality of camel herds in Saudi Arabia.
