Mycotoxicosis refers to the deleterious pathological effects of different types of toxins produced by some worldwide distributing fungi. Mycotoxins, as secondary metabolites are affecting different organs and systems both in animals and human beings. Zearalenone (ZEA), the well-known estrogenic mycotoxins, is an immunotoxic agent. This macrocyclic beta-resorcyclic acid lactone is mycotoxin procreated as a secondary metabolic byproduct by several types of Fusarium, encompassing Fusarium roseum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium graminearum, and different other types. Attributing to its potent estrogenic activity, ZEA has been incriminated as one of the major causes of female reproductive disorders. Thus, the purpose

The aim of this study was to diagnose fetal mortality and the time of
occurrence using real-time ultrasonography. 118 ewes were included in this
experiment, to synchronized estrus of 47 ewes were carried out by using
intravaginal sponges containing 40 mg progesterone for 14 days and then
injected intramuscularly with 500IU of eCG at the time of sponge withdrawal,
while 71 ewes were not treated and left to cycling normally. All ewes were
mated naturally. In order to determinate of fetal numbers and observing fetal
mortality, ewes were examined by 5MHz real- time ultrasonography at interval
20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 and after day 40 after breeding. The results showed
that embryonic mortality rate in non treated
