The aim of the present study is to determine the distribution of immune cells within the endosalpinx related to the ovarian function in gilts culled due to repeat breeding and anoestrus. A total of 30 reproductive organs from culling crossbred Landrace x Yorkshire gilts were collected from commercial swine herds in Thailand and categorized into 3 groups, i.e. anoestrus, repeat breeding and non-involved in reproductive disorder gilts (control group). The ovaries and oviducts were separated from the reproductive tracts and macroscopically investigated. The oviducts were divided into the utero-tubal junction (UTJ), the isthmus, the ampulla and the infundibulum. The gilts …

The present study was undertaken to investigate cyclic changes in the structure of oviduct epithelial cells, and the content of oviductal mucus in the Angora rabbit using light and electron microscopy. Ten female Angora rabbits, 5 of which were in the estrual stage and the other 5 were in the luteal stage of the estrous cycle, were used in the study. Tissue samples taken from the fimbria, ampulla and isthmus of the oviduct were examined under light and electron microscope. Ciliated cells were demonstrated to be predominant in the fimbria and ampulla, whereas secretory cells were determined to be most …
