Abstract
Totally 210 normal Surti buffalo ovaries in follicular phase and blood serum samples of same animals were collected from local slaughter house during winter, summer and monsoon to study the nature of follicular development during different seasons. The diameter of individual follicles and total number of follicles on the ovaries were recoiled. These follicles were grouped according to their diameter in different developmental phase viz., 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and above 12 mm. For biochemical and endocrine studies, the follicular fluid was aspirated from these follicles and pooled according to the phase of developing follicles. During all the three seasons it was observed that right ovary was having more number of developing follicles as compare to the left ovary, indicating that right ovary is more functional than left ovary in Surti buffaloes. More or less similar number of developing follicles were observed on ovaries collected daring winter, summer and monsoon. The seasons had no significant effect on number of developing follicles.
