Abstract

The reproductive status of sows can be analyzed based on its level of ovarian activities characterized by the
presence of a number of follicles and corpus luteum in the ovary. The study of level of ovarium activity of sows
observed the level of other reproductive performance. In this study, 100 ovaries in each 50 Landrace and bali sows
were divided into three groups of sows weighs slaughtering as of 60-70 kg (A); 71-80 kg (B); and 80-90 kg (C). The
variables observed were dimensions of ovary, the number of follicles and corpus luteum in the right and left ovaries.
Quantitative data with quantitative t-test determines the comparison on right and left ovary activities. It showed
that the average weight of right and left ovaries in landrace sows were 5.70 ± 1.22 g; 6.77 ± 0.96 g, and 4.89 ± 1.47
g; 6.13 ± 1.46 g in bali sows. The average number of dominant follicles on the right and left ovaries of landrace sows
were 6.54 ± 1.81 f follicles; 9.78 ± 1.58 follicles, and on bali sows is 5.82 ± 1.90 follicles; 8.91 ± 1.50 follicles. The
number of corpus luteum on the right and left ovaries of the Landrace were 5.49 ± 2.22 CL; 8.16 ± 1.86 CL, and on
bali sows is 5.27 ± 2.23 CL; 7.69 ± 2.22 CL. The t-test results showed that average number of dominant follicles and
corpus luteum in left ovary were significantly greater (P <0.05) compared to the right ovary. The highest percentage
of dominant follicles and corpus found in sows of slaughter grouping 80-90 kg (C). It can be concluded that left
ovary activity was more active than right ovary, and ovarian activity positively correlated with ovarian weight which
indicating ovarian activity in egg cell production and reproductive hormone.
