| Abstract | ||||
| In an ongoing survey on the different factors causing infertility in camels an abnormal vaginal growth was noticed in animals known to be infertile. Clinical examination revealed projections on the dorsal part of the posterior vagina. An investigation of the incidence in camel farms and the slaughter house indicated 20% and 12% of the examined females respectively. All the animals affected were in a body condition score > 3. Histological picture of the growth was much like the ordinary structure of the vagina. Removal of these projections resulted in conception, and it is postulated that, they could be interfering with insemination and/or semen deposition and ovulation. | ||||
