Abstract
The objective of the present study was to assess the morphology and morphometric measurements in
lactating and non-lactating (n=15 each) Madras Red ewes. In both the groups, udder was located in the
inguinal region. It consisted of two mammary glands (right and left halves) divided by an intermammary
groove and each had a single teat. In Madras Red ewes, udder circumference (UC) and inter-teat distance
(ITD) showed statistically significant difference between lactating and non-lactating ewes. Udder length
(UL), width of right (R-UW) and left (L-UW) quarter, udder thickness (UT), Right and left teat length
(TL), teat diameter at base (TDB), teat diameter at tip (TDT), teat to floor distance (TFD), teat end to
floor distance (TEFD) does not shown any statistical difference between lactating and non-lactating
animals.
