In this study, the uteri of 96 non-pregnant camels slaughtered in Yazd province of Iran were examined grossly and histopathologically. Grossly, uterine lesions were present in 17.7% that included numerous white nodules in uterine wall (4.16%), acute endometritis (2.08%), chronic endometritis (1.04%), brown foci due to hemosiderosis (6.25%), petechial and diffuse hemorrhages (4.16%), ovarian hydrobursitis (1.04%), hydrosalpinx (1.04%) and paraovarian cysts (2.08%). Histopathologically, uterine lesions were present in 40.62% that included acute purulent endometritis (7.29%), subacute endometritis (8.33%), chronic endometritis (9.37%), non-granulomatous metritis (6.25%), granulomatous metritis (3.12%), endometrial hyperplasia (1.04%) and adenomyosis (5.2%). Based on the results of this study, the most frequent lesions were endometritis (25%) and metritis (9.37%), thus it could be concluded that endometritis and metritis may have an important role in Iranian dromedary camel infertility.
