The aim of the present study is to determine the distribution of immune cells within the endosalpinx related to the ovarian function in gilts culled due to repeat breeding and anoestrus. A total of 30 reproductive organs from culling crossbred Landrace x Yorkshire gilts were collected from commercial swine herds in Thailand and categorized into 3 groups, i.e. anoestrus, repeat breeding and non-involved in reproductive disorder gilts (control group). The ovaries and oviducts were separated from the reproductive tracts and macroscopically investigated. The oviducts were divided into the utero-tubal junction (UTJ), the isthmus, the ampulla and the infundibulum. The gilts …

The present study investigates morphological changes and distribution of the leukocyte subpopulation in the endometrium of anoestrus gilts in relation to reproductive cycles and serum progesterone (P4). Selected genital organs from 30 gilts culled due to anoestrus were examined. The genital organs were classified according to the ovarian appearance into 3 groups, i.e. inactive (n = 10); follicular (n = 10); and luteal phase (n = 10). Blood samples were collected prior to slaughter to determine serum P4. Seven tissue samples were randomly collected from the uteri of the gilts and were examined for histological structures, i.e. epithelial types and …
