We studied the distribution of reproductive cases presented at the University of Ibadan Veterinary
Teaching Hospital, Nigeria for 15 years (1995 to 2009). Records of presented cases were sourced from the case
files and subjected to descriptive analysis. The recorded reproduction cases were distributed by the reproductive
condition, species, breed, sex and year of occurrence. Dystocia>pregnancy diagnosis>mastitis>transmissible
venereal tumor>metritis were the most frequently presented conditions while 68.6 and 18.1% of the presented
animals were of the canine (mostly German shepherd) and caprine (mostly West African dwarf) species
respectively. 83.7% of these presented animals were female and high frequency of cases were recorded in the
in the year 2000 and above. These results were discussed and it was concluded that the presentation of animals
with reproductive conditions are dependent on clients’ awareness of Veterinary services, economic status and
managemental practices as well as the sex and socioeconomic potential of the patients.
