Abastract:
Context: To establish a baseline data about the measurement of ovary of Cattle, Goat, Sheep and Buffalo.
Objectives: Estimation of biometry of ovary in different ruminant animals.
Materials and Methods: A total of 180 ovaries (Cow=50, Goat=50, Sheep=50, Buffalo=30) were studied from different slaughter houses of Rajshahi city corporation. The length, width and thickness of ovary were taken with the help of Slide Calipers. The weight of ovary was taken with the help of electrical weighing balance and finally Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) was performed to observe significant differences of ovaries and genital tract.
Results: The results of the study revealed that the average mean length of right ovary of Cattle, Goat, Sheep, Buffalo were recorded as 2.52 ± 0.05, 1.51 ± 0.05, 1.17 ± 0.03 cm and 2.57 ± 0.06 cm, respectively that of the left ovary 2.41 ± 0.05, 1.38 ± 0.05 cm, 1.12 ± 0.04 cm and 3.29 ± 0.13 cm, respectively. The width of right ovary was recorded as 1.88 ± 0.06, 1.13 ± 0.06, 0.79 ± 0.03 cm and 2.03± 0.07 cm, respectively that of the left ovary 1.80 ± 0.06, 0.96 ± 0.04, 0.76 ± 0.04 cm and 2.03± 0.07 cm, respectively. The thickness of right ovary was recorded as 1.58 ± 0.06, 0.73 ± 0.02, 0.65 ± 0.07 cm and 1.66± 0.06 cm, respectively that of the left ovary 1.59 ± 0.05, 0.69 ± 0.03, 0.55 ± 0.03 cm and 1.70± 0.06 cm, respectively. The weight of right ovary of Cattle, Goat, Sheep, Buffalo were recorded as 2.52 ± 0.05, 1.51 ± 0.05 and 1.17 ± 0.03 gm, respectively that of the left ovary 3.87 ± 0.12, 0.70 ± 0.04, 0.57 ± 0.04 cm and 3.28± 0.13 gm, respectively.
Conclusions: The average means length, width and thickness of right ovary is more than the left ovary of experimental animals. It may be concluded that the biometry of ovary help to do proper artificial insemination thus improve reproductive performance of ruminant livestock for sustainable farming in Bangladesh.
