Anechoic fluid was mixed with the hyper echoic fibrinous threads and degenerative changes in one testis

Very limited information is available on the trans-scrotal ultrasonography of cross-bred Ongole bulls with scrotal swelling in India. The present study was carried out on the bulls presented to the hospital with the history of scrotal swelling. Haematology revealed increased leucocyte count, neutrophilia and mild reduction in haemoglobin levels. Mi...

... It should not be forgotten that it is not enough to connect the females to the causes of the fertilization but also the role of the male animals. Sterility and infertility in male animals affect both fertility and milk and meat production (17). Infertility and sterility can be caused by factors such as temperature, trauma, radiation, malnutrition, chemical compounds, herbal toxins and blockage of spermatozoon flow, as well as developmental disturbances of testes and epididymis, circulatory disorders, degenerative changes, inflammatory reactions and neoplastic processes (18,19,20). ...
Testis is very important in determining the bulls to be used in semen production at an early age. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of testicular anomalies and pathological cases in bulls slaughtered in Van, and present the histopathologically. For this purpose, 1133 bulls were examined in different breeds (DAK: East Anatolian Red, Swiss Brown, GAK: South Anatolian Red, Holstein, Cross breed, Simental, Indigenous Black). For pathological examination, the testis was fixed in Bouin’s solution. Different testicular pathologies were detected in 46 (4.06%) of 1133 bulls. Testicular anomaly and pathology rate in all races were Holstein 6.53%, Simental 5.55%, DAK 2.35%, GAK 1.88% and Swiss Brown 1.90%. According to these, Holstein and Simental breeds are more prone to testicular anomalies and pathologies than other breeds. As a result; In this study, pathologies of the bulls slaughtered in Van province were examined and distributions of testicular anomalies encountered in bulls in this region are presented.

... Orchitis leads to severe discomfort for the bulls which will have an effect on the reproduction and working ability. In the present study, scrotum and the scrotal contents were assessed by the ultrasonography examination in accordance with the Reddy et al. (2018) who advised ultrasonography is one of the diagnostic procedures for assessment of the internal structures of the scrotum. In mature bulls accumulation of fluid within the scrotal vaginal cavity due to local inflammation or traumatic lesions and without any evidence of above. ...
A 9 years old bull was presented to the hospital with a history of scrotal swelling for a period of 12 days and progressive emaciation with intermittent fever. Clinical examination revealed the swollen and painful scrotum with fluid thrill, mild abduction and disorientation of hindlimbs were noticed. Ultrasonography of the testes revealed the anechoic fluid in between the visceral and parietal layers of tunica vaginalis of testis with variation in the echogenicity of the testes. Stained peripheral blood smear examination revealed the presence of Trypanosoma evansi organisms. The bull was administered with diminazene aceturate, enrofloxacin, flunixin meglumine, multivitamin injections and dextrose normal saline. Uneventful recovery was noticed following the therapy.
