Ultrasonic monitoring and biometry of ovaries and ovarian structures during superovulation following transvagianl follicle ablation in Murrah buffaloes
Abstract: <div>Five Murrah buffaloes were studied ultrasonographically to record the biometry of the ovarian structures and superovulatory response during superovulation (SOV) following follicle ablation. Transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration / ablation (FA) was done at the middle of the oestrous cycle (day 10) on follicle of over 10 mm diameter, using 5.0 MHz convex-array intravaginal transducer using a B-mode scanner. The animals were simultaneously subjected to superovulation with either FSH</div><div>(Folltropin V) or FSH+PMSG. Ovarian size and ovarian structural changes of these five superovulated buffaloes were monitored on a) the 10th day post estrus (Day of Follicle Ablation and start of superovulation protocol,)</div><div>b) 3rd day post FA+SOV (the 3rd day of superovulation programme) and c) 6th day post FA+SOV (Day before Flushing).<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div>
