Abstract
The assessment covered 80 reproductive systems collected from gilts slaughtered at identical body weight (100 kg); 40 gilts of the Polish Large White breed (PLW) and 40 gilts of the Polish Landrace breed (PL). In case of both breeds, the gilts came from 40 litters and from 20 boars. The gilts subject to assessment were kept in identical conditions, standard for the Pig Testing Stations. The morphometric estimation of reproductive systems involved measurement of weight of the uterus with ligament, length of cervix and of the uterine horns, measurements of the oviducts as well as measurement of weight, height, width and length of the ovaries. Uteruses capacity was also established, based on volumetric methods of Kwa?nicki (1951) with own modification.
