A Quantitative Evaluation of Placentome Development in Zebu Cattle (Bos indicus)

Abstract: Summary Quantitative changes occurring during placentome development were studied in detail in fetuses of local Zebu cattle ranging in age from about 75 to 245 days of gestation. Total placentome cross‐sectional area increased continuously throughout gestation, although placentome number remained constant; this was brought about by an increase in mean placentome crosssectional area alone. Mean placentome cross‐sectional area in the gravid horn was almost twice as great as that in the non‐gravid horn at all sta… Show more

“…The total number of placentomes in the pregnant zebu uterus is about 69 (Stickland & Purton, 1977), significantly lower than the figures of 70-142 quoted for the cow. This reduction may reflect the often poor nutritional status of the zebu as has been shown for the ewe (Everitt, 1968) and in turn may be responsible for the poor calf survival rates in this species (Turner, 1980 (Batra & Pandy, 1983a) or cow (Kindahl et al, 1976) is pregnant.…”
