Biometrical Changes in Reproductive Organs of Bakharwal Goat with Age
of uterus in group A and B are lower than those reported
(1974) and Das et al. (1982). Compared with group A,
by Singh et al . (1974) and Das et al . (1982). In both the
the mean length, width of right and left ovary in group
groups, the mean values for width of right and left horn of
B was significantly higher (P < 0.01). In group A and B,
uterus are higher than those given by Singh et al . (1974).
the average lengths of right and left ovaries are smaller
However the values for thickness are in agreement with
than those reported by Lyngest, (1968) and Das et al.
Das et al . (1982) but smaller than Singh et al . (1974). The
(1982). Lyngset, (1968) observed higher values for width
variations in results of present study with other workers
of ovaries than the present study, while Singh et al. (1974)
may be due to difference in breed of goat studied. In
and Das et al. (1982) reported lower values. The average
group B, the length of right and left fallopian tube was
values for thickness of right and left ovaries of group A
significantly (P < 0.01) higher when compared with
and B were lower than reported by other workers (Singh
group A. In both the groups, the mean lengths of right

and left fallopian tube are in agreement with Singh et al.
to breed difference and variation in body size of animals.
Based on the information obtained from this study, it was

concluded that the size of genital organs of Bakharwal
uterus of Bakharwal goat belonging to group A&B
goat increases with age during 12-18 months to 24-30
months of age.
