A comparative study of oocyte between native cattle and buffalo species in Bangladesh: a qualitative and quantitative approach

In vitro embryo production (IVP) can help alleviating reproductive difficulties in cattle and buffalo. This study compared qualitative quantitative features of native buffalo ovaries oocytes to understand them comprehensively. addition, it was conducted pick the ideal for oocyte collection assess either maturation affects diameter or not. The were collected from local slaughterhouses Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Next, parameters measured, follicular fluid aspired, classified, diameters determined both pre postmaturation. Here, results revealed that differed significantly (p < 0.05) weight, length, width, depth regardless ovary's position corpus luteum (CL) condition. numbers normal abnormal per ovary 1.19 0.96 1.50 1.13 buffalo, respectively. Moreover, a significant difference observed between oocytes' (cattle 85.64 ± 8.16 μm vs. 99.92 8.65 μm) before after within same species. It may be concluded greater size, larger than oocyte. Any ovaries-irrespective CL status-can good source potential oocytes. Besides, process ultimately affect increase.
