Abstract
To examine the prevalence and type of lesions in urinary bladder of Korean cattle, a random sampling survey was performed at a Jeonju abattoir in September 2000 and January 2001. Collected urinary bladder were examined grossly and histopathologically and the patterns of disease were investigated with season and sex. Of 735 cattle(99 bulls and 246 cows in September and 141 bulls, 3 steers, and 246 cows in January) surveyed, $26.3\%$ cattle with evident lesions were found. The most common gross finding was urolithiasis of urinary bladder($23.8\%$). Other lesions included hemorrhage($5.9\%$), congestion($4.1\%$), hematuria($2.7\%$), pyuria($0.7\%$), hyperplasia($0.5\%$). Urinary calculi collected in this study contained 80 to $90\%$ of calcium oxalate and 10 to $20\%$ of struvite, with or without $20\%$ of cystine and $10\%$ of uric acid. This study on urolithiasis and pathology of urinary bladder of slaughtered Korean cattle revealed subclinical aspects and management problem in Korean beef product.
