ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted on 12 apparently healthy adult female Uttara fowl birds reared at Instructional poultry farm, G.B.P.U.A.T, Nagla. The mature left ovary of uttara fowl resembled, a bunch of grapes having mean weight of 26.25 ± 1.14 gm. The left oviduct extended caudally from the left ovary and opened in the urodeum of cloaca lateral to the left ureter. The average length and weight of the oviduct of adult uttara fowl was 59.73 ± 0.85 cm and 31.73 ± 0.96 gm respectively, Magnum was the longest segment of the oviduct and had an average length of 29.16 ± 0.66 cm. Isthmus was a short segment of the oviduct. Shell gland was dorsoventrally expanded pouch like structure. Vagina was short and narrow S shaped structure joining the shell gland to the cloaca at the terminal end.
Key words: Morphometry, Female Reproductive System, Uttara Fowl, Left Ovary, Left Oviduct
