Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Agriculture and Forestry University > Volume 1 (2017) . - 113-117 p. Title : Morphometry of the female reproductive organs of the Murrah cross buffaloes in Chitwan, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: B. Devkota, Author ; A. K. Singh, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: 113-117 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: buffalo, reproductive organs Abstract: The study was conducted to understand the normal morphometry of reproductive organs of Nepalese Murrah cross buffaloes. Reproductive organs of mature buffaloes (n=41) were collected from local slaughter house and normal samples (n=35) were used to determine the normal morphometry. Three diamentional measurements of the ovaries, structures within the ovaries, such as corpus luteum (CL) and follicles (F) and lengths and diameters of the cervix, uterine body and uterine horns were measured by using standard measurement techniques. Ovaries were categorized into 4 types on the basis of the presence or absence of one or both functional structures of CL and F ≥ 0.8 cm. The size of the reproductive organs of these buffaloes was almost similar with, or little smaller, to that reported for other breeds. The largest CL length and follicular diameter was 1.8 and 1.4 cm, respectively. There were significant correlations (r ≥ 0.56, p lengths, breadths, thickness and volumes of the ovaries. The overall size of the ovary was related to the presence or absence of CL and F≥0.8 cm. The information documented in this study can be valuable while dealing with the clinical reproductive disorders, performing rectal examination, using transrectal ultrasonography and applying reproductive technologies in Nepalese buffaloes.
