Of the echographies taken, 11.73% (26 animals) revealed abnormalities where the uterine (blood content 1.02%, endometritis 4.08%, pyometra 1.02%, retention of placenta 1.02%) reported on 7.14% of them and the oviductal ones (salpingitis) 4,59%. No correlation was found between age (P=0.11) or racial type (P=0.84) for the presentation of alterations.
