In the present study, a total of 300 cows, aged four to seven years old, presented to the Antakya Slaughterhouse were evaluated, and lesions at the trigone of urinary bladder were detected in 60 cows. The diagnosis of trigonitis was based on ultrasonography, cytological examination of the urine and by using urine dipstick test stripes and definitive diagnosis has confirmed by histologically after postmortem examination. Examination of the samples taken from the trigone of the urinary bladder revealed hyperplasia or hypertrophy, lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltrations with hemorrhagic areas and epithelial damage in the epithelial cells. It is concluded that, ultrasonography, which is a non-invasive method, and analysis of the urine sediment provide reliable and safe evaluation for the diagnosis of trigonitis
