Abstract

This study was carried on 24 adult multipara Iraqi ewes in experimental
farm related to College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Baghdad during
2005. This study revealed the effect of prostaglandin F2 during puerperium
period through the evaluation of vaginal epithelial cells by using vaginal smear
methods. Intramuscular injection of 1 ml prostaglandin F2 (Iliren®) (tiaprosttrometamol=
0.196mg) was done in the 4th days after parturition to 12 ewes. The
vaginal smears were taken in the 4th, 16th and 28th days. Histological
examination revealed that the intermediate epithelial cells were a predominant.
Keratinized cells were takes place in all epithelial cells. Vacuolations were
present in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells, meanwhile presence of WBCs in the
16th and 28th days were obvious. This indicates the benefit usage of
prostaglandin F2 during puerperium period to accelerate ovarian rebound
