N2  - Macroscopic study of 510 female genital tracts of adult ewes of Awlad Djallal and Al Hamraa national breeds, ageing from 6 months to two years was studied. The material was collected at Tiaret abaltoiv (1994- 1995) and showed that 112(21.9%) of them were pregnant (beginning of pregnancy, about 1 month), of which 97(86.6%) were single pregnancy and 15(13.3%) were twin pregnancies. Distribution of the fetuses in the right horn was 53.5% against 46.5% in the left horn. The length, width, diameter and weight of the right ovary were respectively: 1.5 ± 0.27cm, 1.16 ± 0.22 cm; 0.55 ± 0.16 cm and 0.77 ± 0. 24 g. Those of the left side were respectively: 1.48 ± 0.26 cm; 1.14 ± 0.22 cm; 0.55 ± 0.15 cm and 0.72 ± 0.23 g.The study indicated that the right ovary was more active than the left ovary. Of the total genitalia examined, 204 (40%) showed different types of abnormalities: Paraovarian cysts (21,37% ), metritis (6,27%), cervical abnormalities (6,47%) , ovarobursal adhesions (1,56%),and pyometra(1,56%)
