The present work was undertaken to assess the extent of histopathological changes in genital organs of culled buffaloes. Out of a total of 131 genital organs of freshly slaughtered buffaloes examined at slaughter house in Anand, Gujarat, fourty tissue samples were collected from grossly affected uterine horns (n=26) and fallopian tubes (n=14) in 10 per cent neutral buffered formalin for histopathology. The histological lesions of endometritis were observed in 19.85 per cent uterine tissues. These lesions were classified into an acute (15.38%), subacute (15.38%) and chronic (69.24%) endometritis on the basis of histopathological findings. one each case of endometriosis and leiomyoma was also observed. Mild, moderate and severe degree of salpingitis were found in 14.29%, 21.43% and 64.29% tissues, respectively from examination of 14 fallopian tubes. The present findings suggest that significant numbers of cases of mild to moderate reproductive tract abnormalities are diagnosed by histopathological examination, otherwise these may be misdiagnosed by clinician on per rectal examination.
