Comparison of Cow’s Breed on the Morphology of Ovaries Collected from Abattoir

In vitro production (IVP) of embryos is one of the popular animal reproductive biotechnologies to enhance the genetic improvement of livestock. However, insufficiency of good quality oocytes has become one of the major constraints in producing embryos from IVP. Thus, a preliminary evaluation of ovar...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the morphology of ovaries from different breed of cattle, including surface follicles and follicular health status. Thirty two (32) ovaries from Kedah-Kelantan breed and 32 ovaries from crossbred cows were collected from an abattoir in Taiping, Perak.

The mean ovarian weight, length, width and number of surface visible ovarian follicles of crossbred cows were found significantly higher (7.81 ± 0.61 g, 3.30 ± 0.09 cm, 2.31 ± 0.07 cm and 29.66 ± 2.32, respectively) compared to KedahKelantan cows (3.22 ± 0.33 g, 2.60 ± 0.08 cm, 1.80 ± 0.07 cm and 20.97 ± 2.04, respectively).
