Abstract
Uterus didelphys is a congenital defect of monotocous species. This short c ontribution describes the condition in a cow that had a pregnancy in the ri ght horn and a corpus luteum on the ipsilateral ovary. This finding demonst rates that pregnancy can occur in a cow with uterus didelphys, although the fate of the pregnancy was obviously not known. The case was identified dur ing routine collection of reproductive tracts in a New Zealand abattoir. It is believed to be the first report of uterus didelphys in a bovine abattoi r specimen.
