Abstract Genitalia of 405 local and cross breed cows were collected from Al- Ramadi abattoir, during the period from July, 1999 to Feb, 2000. The aim of the study was determined to know the anatomical and pathological abnormalities effected the female genitalia in cows. The percentage of pregnancy was 6.2% ( 25/465 ).
