Abstract
Different segments of the reproductive tracts of 747 adult, non-pregnant female Red Sokoto (Maradi) goats were measured. The mean lengths of the vulva, vagina and cervix were 1.45 ± 0.21, 5.32 ± 0.34 and 2.59 ± 0.61 cm, respectively. The mean lengths of the uterine body, left and right horns were 5.83 ± 1.69, 14.43 ± 0.94 and 14.17 ± 1.33 cm, respectively. The lengths of the left and right oviducts were 13.92 ± 2.45 and 13.73 ± 2.88 cm, respectively. The lengths of the left and right ovaries were 1.71 ± 0.27 and 1.73 ± 0.27 cm. respectively. The values for diameter of the vulva, vegina, cervix, uterine body, left uterine horn, right uterine horn, left oviduct and right oviduct were 2.45 ± 0.32, 2.29 ± 0.26, 1.07 ± 0.17, 2.10 ± 0.42, 1.19 ± 0.21, 1.16 ± 0.24, 0.15 ± 0.04 and 0.15 ± 0.03 cm, respectively. The diameters of the left and right ovaries were 0.65 ± 0.15 and 0.66 ± 0.22 cm, respectively.
