Abstract
Morphological changes of reproductive organs during egg formation of autochthonous Oravka hens
Highlights
IntroductionThe oviduct is a long tubular structure consisting of five functionally and histomorphologically distinct segments namely: infundibulum, magnum, isthmus, utterus and vagina (Pollock and Orosz, 2002; Mishra et al, 2019)
The poultry oviduct provides the biological environment for the egg formation and fertilization of ovulated oocyte
The hens are born with a pair of ovary and oviduct, the development of the right ovary and oviduct cease and gradually regress
Summary
The oviduct is a long tubular structure consisting of five functionally and histomorphologically distinct segments namely: infundibulum, magnum, isthmus, utterus and vagina (Pollock and Orosz, 2002; Mishra et al, 2019). The poultry oviduct provides the biological environment for the egg formation and fertilization of ovulated oocyte. The left ovary and the oviduct remain functional and contribute in the egg formation. The oviduct is a long tubular structure consisting of five functionally and histomorphologically distinct segments namely: the infundibulum (site of fertilization), the magnum (production of components of egg white), the isthmus
