Abstract

The study was conducted to estimate biochemical profiles in follicular fluid in cyclic and acyclic sheep. Reproductive tracts of sheep were collected from a local Municipal abattoir located in Jammu city. The genitalia were classified into two groups, cyclic and acyclic, each group having 10 genitalia. A nonsignificant difference was recorded in the means of total protein, cholesterol, albumin and globulin in follicular fluid of cyclic and acyclic sheep. However, the glucose level was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the follicular fluid of cyclic sheep than that of acyclic sheep.
