Abstract:

Influence of melatonin on follicles of blue fox ovaries was studied. The aim of the study was to provide a proof for the use of blue fox ovary. The experiment measured and compared with the form of ovaries and diameter of follicles from blue fox implanted melatonin and in rut. Oocytes had been cultured for in vitro maturation. Observed and recorded the results every 12 h .The results showed that ovarian weight and volume of blue fox implanted melatonin were extremely significantly less than in rut (P<0.01). All levels follicular diameters implanted melatonin were less than those in rut, and the differences of secondary follicular diameter was significantly (P<0.05). Cumulus diffusion rate of blue fox implanted melatonin was significantly less than that in rut (P<0.05).
