The aim of the study was to investigate the histological changes of pelvic symphysis in Estonian Holstein-Frisian＇s （EHF） of different ages. Eight EHF cows up to five years of their age were divided into three age groups： calved, in-calved and after calved bovines. Material for histological and histochemical investigation was taken from four places： （1） cranial part ofpubic bone; （2） pubo-ischiadic junction; （3） symphyseal eminence; （4） body of the interischiadic bone. In all study-groups, the cranial part of pubic bone consisted of cartilage. In pubo-ischiadic junction of calves connective tissue proper, fibrous and hyaline cartilage were noted. In in-calved cattle with gestation of 4-5 months and in after calved cattle group hyaline cartilage and bone tissue were noted, however in in-calved cattle with gestation of 7.5 months fibrous cartilage and connective tissue proper prevalated. In sympyseal eminence of calves connective cartilage osseous tissue was present. The region of interischiadic tissue proper and cartilage were noted; in other groups besides bone of calves consisted of connective tissue proper and fibrous cartilage, meanwhile in in-calved and after calved EHF＇s in the region hyaline cartilage and osseous tissue prevalated. These preliminary results demonstrate that the main changes in the pelvic symphysis histology, retardation of ossification, of EHF kines occur during the second-half of gestation in the pubo-ischiadic junction.展开更多
