CORRELATION BETWEEN THE AMOUNT AND FOLLICLE SIZE TO OOCYTE DIAMETER OF PIG OVARIUM FROM PIG SLAUGHTERHOUSE

This study aims to determine the relationship between the number and size of follicles to the diameter of oocytes collected from pig ovaries originating from commercial and traditional Pig Slaughterhouses in Denpasar City. The aspiration oocyte collection method was carried out at the Embryology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University. This research was conducted by grouping ovaries into 3 groups: group 1 is ovaries with small follicles that have a diameter <2mm, group 2 are ovaries with medium follicles which have a diameter of 3.1-5mm, and group 3 are ovaries with large follicles that have diameter > 5mm, in accordance with the opinion of Crozet et al. (1995). Lonergan et al. (1992) stated that oocyte diameter has a strong relationship with the quality of oocytes produced. This research uses a completely randomized design. The effect of follicle size on oocyte diameter was analyzed using regression analysis and simple correlation while the effect of size and number of follicles on oocyte morphology was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. Data analysis was performed with SPSS 20 software.
