Abstract

Oocytes retrieved from abattoir derived buffalo ovaries were classified into three categories i.e. ovaries with corpus luteum (CL), ovaries without CL and pooled ovaries. Correlation coefficient was calculated between the ovarian weights and the oocyte recovery rates for all the three categories of ovaries. Ovarian weight of ovary with CL was significantly more than that of ovary without CL. There was a positive correlation between the ovarian weights and the oocyte recovery rates in all the three categories of ovaries.
