Abstract
One of the most important branches of animal husbandry in the Russian Federation is sheep farming. One of the most important aspects of solving this problem is the development of modern reproductive technologies that allow indefinitely preserving and rationally using the gene pool of endangered animal species, creating competitive breeding forms. Without fundamental knowledge about the reproductive system, it will be difficult to plan a therapeutic and diagnostic base for conducting research in this area. The aim of the study was to establish the anatomical and topographic features of the ovaries in the age aspect in sheep of the Edilbaev breed, as well as to carry out morphometric measurements in three age groups (fetuses, newborns, young). The study was conducted at the Department of Animal Anatomy of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education. Female sheep of the Edilbaev breed served as the object of the study. Three age groups were selected for the study. The first group consisted of five fetuses of four to five months old; the second – seven corpses of newborn lambs at the age of three days from birth; the third – young animals 3-4 months old. The average weight of fruits is 1500 g.; newborn lambs – 3250 g.; young animals – 18-22 kg. The methods used for the study were fine anatomical dissection, morphometry using a ruler and calipers. During the study, anatomical and topographical features of the ovaries in the age aspect of sheep of the Edilbaev breed were established. Skeleto- and syntopia of the ovaries in different age groups has been determined. During the comparative analysis of morphometric characteristics, both absolute and relative linear parameters of the ovaries of fetuses, newborns and young sheep of the Edilbaev breed were established. The study established asynchrony in the development of the left and right ovaries in the studied age groups. The results of the study can be used by veterinary specialists, in particular obstetricians, surgeons to establish operative access to the ovaries and in obstetric and gynecological practice in sheep breeding.
