| Abstract | ||
| The present study was undertaken at Al-Qadisiyah slaughter house located in Al-Diwaniyah City, throughout the period from (June –August 2023) and ( Dec. – Feb. 2024) to evaluate certain biochemical components(Glucose. Cholesterol and Total Protein) in the follicular fluid of Iraqi Sheep. A total of (240)ovaries were collected from (120) adult non-pregnant ewes(72 samples of follicular fluids for each size, 12samples/month), age ranging between (2 to 3) years old in a good health with normal genitalia tracts. The diameter of ovarian follicles were measured using calipers, the follicles were distributed into three categories: small (<3mm), medium (3-5mm) and large (6-10 mm), follicular fluid aspirated per follicle size within the same ewe and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min. the supernatant was collected to use for determine concentration of glucose, Cholesterol and total protein in the ovarian follicular fluid. The results shown that season of year and size of follicle affected significantly(P<0.01) on glucose and cholesterol concentration, while total protein concentration did not influenced by season and follicle size, in addition, there was a highly significant differences(P<0.01) recorded among sized follicles within the seasons. However, the concentrations of glucose, cholesterol and total protein in the follicular fluid were decreased as the follicle sizes increased. | ||
