The reproductive system of a cow
The reproduction system of a cow consists of primary and secondary reproductive organs only
cow consists of the following parts
- Two ovaries, which are oval to bean-shaped organs that are 1—1.5 inches long and located in the abdominal cavity.
- A series of tubes that receive semen, transport sperm to the egg so it can be fertilized, nourish the fertilized egg (embryo), and allow the calf to be birthed. These tubes include the vestibule, vagina, cervix, uterine horns, and uterine tubes (oviduct).
- The cow is a continual-type, polyoestral species with an average cycle length of 21/22 days for previously bred cows and 20 days for heifers. Sexual activity starts at puberty, when the animal has reached 40 to 45% of its adult weight, and then follows a cyclic pattern, characterised by the periodic onset of oestrus4
