title: [Incidence of spontaneous arteriosclerosis in Lowland Black-and-White (LBW) and Simentaler cows from selected regions of Poland].
abstract: Studies on the occurrence of spontaneous arteriosclerosis in the arteries of the uterus were conducted on Lowland Black-and-White (LBW) and Simentaler (S) cows. The material studied had been collected from the genital organs of heifers and cows slaughtered in the abattoirs of Gdańsk (LBW) and Rzeszów (S). The animals had been found free from disease, both clinically and on post-mortem examination. Pathological changes in the arteries of the uterus were diagnosed by post-mortem angiography, and identified histologically and histochemically. In both breeds studied, high intensity of the occurrence of arteriosclerotic changes was found, both in heifers and in multiparae cows (LBW 81.9%, S 33.3%). Histochemical examination of the walls of pathologically changed vessels failed to reveal any accumulation of fatty bodies.
