Abstract:
In the present study, transvaginal ultrasound guided ovum pick up was performed on 8 donor cows with good reproductive health. Mean number of large, medium and small follicles aspirated per donor cow was 2.87±1.09, 8.5±2.08 and 9.63±1.53 respectively. Follicles aspirated per cow per OPU session was 13.56±1.91. The mean number of COCs recovered from each donor was 9.63±2.2 with the oocyte recovery rate of 47.53±6.93%. In conclusion, ultrasound guided ovum pick up technique is a very useful tool for oocyte aspiration and recovery from live animals.
