𝐅𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is an interesting process that happens when the uterine environment becomes infected. Unfortunately, the fetus does not survive this process.

𝐇𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬 are aggregates of the nutrient fluid found within the placenta that are a 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 in many species. However, they look kind of weird, and can scare producers if they aren’t aware of them!

𝐐 𝐟𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 is a bacterial disease that is considered highly 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐜 (easily causes disease). In fact, it is so infectious that it has been listed as a potential biological warfare agent! Just one bacterium is enough to cause serious disease in humans.

𝐔𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 are tumours of the uterine lining. The risk of these tumours increases with the age of the animal, and they are particularly common in rabbits!

𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐲𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 is infection with 𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐲𝐝𝐢𝐚, a species of bacteria. You’ve probably heard of Chlamydia in people!

𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 are a strange and rare type of tumour, primarily found in the ovaries of animals. These tumours can have hair, cartilage, and even bone growing within them!

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 (TVTs) are one of the few known types of tumour that can be spread by contact, like an infectious disease. This is an extremely rare feature for a tumour to have!

𝐏𝐲𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚 is a 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 (pus-forming) infection of the uterus, characterized by the accumulation of massive amounts of pus within the uterus.

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦 is an abnormality of sexual development, where a female calf is born with 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 (having two complete genome sets in the body) with some cells having XX sex chromosomes and some cells having XY chromosomes.

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐚 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 are tumours of granulosa cells, which are the cells of the ovary that produce hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone. These tumours are often huge by the time they are detected, frequently replacing the whole ovary!
