The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different stages of corpus luteum on ovary size, oocytes grades and follicular population. A total of 109 buffalo ovaries were collected from the slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory for determination of ovaries weight, length, width, thickness, follicular population and oocytes grades. The results obtained revealed that the effect of types of CL on ovary weight and size showed a significant difference in the type of CL groups with ovary weight and ovary size. Ovaries having CL in late-stage showed the highest mean of ovary weight, length, width and thickness over the CL in the early and middle stage. Moreover, the results showed no significantly different in the type of CL groups with follicula r population and oocytes grades.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CL, ovary weight and ovary size, on follicular population, oocytes recovery, oocytes grades, oocytes index and cleavage rate on Indian buffalos. A total of 296 buffalo ovaries were collected from slaughterhouse and transported to laboratory for determination of ovaries weight, length, width, thickness, follicular population and oocytes grades, oocytes index and cleavage rate. The results obtained revealed that the number of small and large follicles were significantly higher in ovaries having weight more than 5g as compared to ovaries weight between 3-5g and less than 3g. The number of small follicles in large size ovaries was significantly higher as compared to small size ovaries. The mean number of oocytes recovery, number of oocytes for IVEP and number of cleavage, obtained from ovaries with CL was lower than that of ovaries without CL. No significant difference observed between presence and absence of CL, follicular population and oocytes grades.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
