Relationship between morphometric parameters and oocyte competence of Sus Scrofa

The aim of the current study was to establish whether morphometrically analysis (weight and size) of the porcine ovaries affects the quality of oocytes. Twenty-one ovaries were measured by – weight (gr), length (cm), and width (cm) and divided into three groups (n=7). We also compared oocyte diameter (including ZP, excluding ZP and thickness of ZP), according to ovarian weight between groups. Twenty COCs from each group of ovaries were tested in BCB solution. It was found that in the values between the weight of the ovaries and their dimensions, a significant difference was observed between groups 1 and 3 regarding the length of the ovary (P
