Age Related Changes in Biometry of Genital Organs of Teddy Goat

To study the biometry of genital organs of teddy goats, one hundred and twenty reproductive tracts were collected from slaughterhouse of Multan during September 2011 to December 2011. The reproductive tracts were divided into two groups (group A, 12-18 months and group B age between 24-30 months) on the basis of the age of slaughtered animals. For cervix length and width, the average measurements of group A were 3.560.04 cm, 1.340.06 cm, and in group B were 3.920.05 cm, 1.870.08 cm, respectively. Similarly in group A, the average size of body of uterus was 1.180.08 cm. 1.530.10cm, 0.210.07 cm and in group B, 1.550.06 cm, 1.820.11 cm, 0.260.06 cm. The average size of the right horn of uterus in group A was 11.420.39 cm, 1.630.33 cm, 0.370.09 cm and the size of the left horn of uterus was 11.670.40 cm, 1.430.25 cm, 0.360.07 cm while the average size of the right horn of uterus in group B was 13.510.27cm, 1.780.34 cm, 0.510.06 cm and the size of the left horn of uterus was 13.760.32 cm, 1.720.34 cm, 0.510.04 cm for length, width and thickness, respectively. Mean length of right and left fallopian tube in group A was 14.960.26 cm, 15.030.19 cm while in group B was 15.230.23 cm, 15.280.25 cm. In group A the average size of the right ovary was 1.610.08cm, 1.190.04 cm, 0.770.06 cm while in left ovary 1.440.04 cm, 1.160.03, 0.740.07 cm for length, width and thickness, respectively. Similarly, in group B the average size of the right ovary was 1.770.09 cm, 1.350.03 cm, 0.950.06 cm while in left ovary 1.700.08 cm, 1.330.05 cm. 0.910.05 cm, for length, width, and thickness, respectively. It was concluded that the size of genital organs of teddy goat increases with age during 12-18 months to 24-30 months of age.
