Morphometric characteristics of egg and meat-egg hens reproductive organs

Abstract

The paper has been devoted to morphometric changes analysis in reproductive organ of hens of gene pool breeds for egg and meat-egg production in 4, 21 and 54 weeks age. The data have been given for ovary and oviduct mass, oviduct length. There was established that in both production hens some changes have place during the period studied. These changes are in mass and length oviduct parts ratio to it total mass and length upward of white part parameters and downward istmus, and eggshell, and excretory parts parameters in mass (р<0, 001; р<0,01).
