Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the uterine involution in goats from a local Bulgarian breed through ultrasonography. Six goats from a local breed, 3 to 7 years of age, weighing 42-60 kg, housed in the Production Animal Farm of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Trakia University, Stara Zagora, were included in the experiment. Ultrasonography was performed with Aloka SSD 500 Micrus (Tokyo, Japan) ultrasound and a 5 MHz linear transducer. Goats were examined in standing position for the transabdominal approach, and when the visualisation of studied structures was impossible, the transrectal approach was used. Uterine involution in goats was evaluated by serial ultrasound examinations at days 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20 and 30 postpartum. The outer and inner diameters of the caruncles, uterine body lumen, and uterine wall thickness were measured. The visualisation of outer and inner caruncular diameters was possible until the 9th day postpartum. The ultrasound measurement of uterine lumen diameter, outer and inner caruncular diameters revealed a statistically significant reduction in their size (P<0.05) as early as the 3rd day compared to the 1st day postpartum. Uterine wall was considerably thinner (P<0.05) by the 9th day after the parturition. The evaluation of results suggested that ultrasonography could be an alternative for monitoring the uterine involution in goats to slaughter.

Abstract
Bu araştırma, yerel Bulgar ırkı keçilerde ultrasonografi yöntemi ile uterus involüsyonunun araştırılması için
yapılmıştır. Stara Zagora, Trakya Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Üretim Çiftliğinde bulunan 3 ile 7 yaş
arasında ve 42 ile 60 kg ağırlığında 6 adet lokal ırk keçi ile deneme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ultrasonografi, Aloka SSD
500 Micrus (Tokyo, Japonya) ultrason ve 5 MHz’lik bir lineer dönüştürücü ile yapılmıştır. Keçiler ayakta durma
pozisyonunda transabdominal şekilde muayene edilirken, incelenen yapıların görüntülenmesinin imkansız olduğu
durumda, transrektal uygulama kullanılmıştır. Keçilerde uterus involüsyonu, seri ultrason denemeleri ile doğum
sonrası 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20 ve 30. günlerde değerlendirilmiştir. Karinkullerin dış ve iç çapları, uterus gövde boşluğu
ve uterus duvarının kalınlığı ölçülmüştür. Karinkulalların dış ve iç çağları doğum sonrası 9. güne kadar
görüntülenmiştir. Doğum sonrası 1. ile 3. gün karşılaştırıldığında, ultrason ile ölçümde uterus boşluğu çapı, dış ve iç
karinkulaların boyutları arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir farklılık (P < 0,05) olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Doğum
sonrası 9. güne kadar uterus duvarı oldukça incelmiştir (P < 0,05). Bulguların değerlendirilmesi doğrultusunda,
ultrasonografinin keçilerde kesime kadar uterus involüsyonunun izlenmesinde alternatif olarak kullanılabileceği
önerilmektedir.
