Resum
A statistic and morphological study on congenital anomalies of the uterus diagnosed during the examination of 1,489 bovine females sacrificed in slaughterhouses in León (Spain) was carried out. Nine cases of congenital anomalies (0.6% of the population), which were as follows: 5 cases of hypoplasia (55.6% of all anomalies), 2 cases of segmental aplasia of the müllerian ducts (22.2%) (one of them was classified as uterus unicomis), 1 case of complete agenesia (11.1%) and 1 case of uterus didelphys were diagnosed. With regard to age groups, anomalies were more frequent in the 2-4 yearold group (3%) and with regard to breeds, the Swiss Brown was the most affected (1.1%). Animals affected by these lesions should be sacrificed because of their infertility and hereditary nature.
