ABSTRACT

The study was carried out on 22 winter–lambing, suckling Polish Longwool sheep variety Kamieniecka. The completion of uterine involution was determined by means of transrectal ultrasonography. Parameters for the evaluation of uterine involution were the transversal diameter and the presence of uterine lumen. The uterine involution was finished in 5 (22.7 %) ewes till day 25 p.p., in 12 (54.5 %) till day 30 p.p. and in 18 (81.8 %) till day 35 p.p. The results of the present study confirmed that ultrasonography is a useful and reliable method to observe the uterine involution in sheep and showed that the uterine involution in most winter-lambing Polish Longwoll sheep variety Kamieniecka finishes untill day 35 p.p.

Key words: sheep, uterine involution, ultrasonography..
