In the presented study, we aimed to investigate fetal wastage due to slaughtered pregnant cattle and endometritis ratio in slaughterhouses. For this aim, we examined the corpus parts of uterus tissues of slaughtered cattle by using macroscopic and histopathological evaluation methods to detect pregnancy and endometritis ratio. Routine histopathological processing was performed for collected tissues. All sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. After staining, all slides were examined under the light microscope. Out of the 140 cattle, 18 animals were found to be pregnant at different stages of pregnancy. No histopathological changes were observed in 62 samples of 122 non-pregnant cattle and inflammatory uterine lesions were observed in different characters and intensities in 60 samples. In result of this study, we detect the percentage of pregnant animals which are slaughtered is 12,8%. Besides, the percentage of female animals with no pathological lesions that may prevent pregnancy were found to be is 44,2%. According to these findings, we suggest that these rates are a significant loss in terms of animal husbandry in the region.
