Abstract:
The study was carried out from June 2021 to October 2021. Ultrasonographic ovarian biometry, follicular count, and grading in twenty-eight Pandharpuri Buffaloes were done. The results showed that the average length of the right ovary (26.951 ± 0.828 mm) was significantly (P<0.05) higher as compared to the left ovary (23.955 ± 0.799 mm). Nonsignificant differences were observed in the average width of the right (20.338 ± 0.743 mm) and left (18.801 ± 0.498 mm) ovaries of Pandharpuri buffaloes. The right ovaries were more active than the left ovaries. A total of 300 follicles were observed on 48 ovaries of Pandharpuri buffaloes through ultrasonography. The mean visible follicular count was 6.25 per buffalo. The follicles were graded as small, medium, and large based on their diameter. The number of small-sized follicles was found to be significantly (p<0.01) higher (5.00 ± 0.22) as compared to large (0.45 ± 0.08) and medium (1.04 ± 0.13) sized follicles.
