 ABSTRACT

Aseel and Vanaraja are dual purpose breeds of poultry, used by the Department of Animal Husbandry (C.G.) to improve the livelihood of tribal peoples. Reproductive system plays an important role in productivity, so to explore the gross morphology of male reproductive system, present investigation was undertaken. The experiment was conducted on forty apparently healthy birds belonging to two different age groups viz. group 1 (grower) and group 2 (adult). Body weight was significantly higher in growers and adults of Vanaraja. Weight, volume, length, width and percentage contribution to body weight of testis, epididymis and ductus deferens were significantly higher in growers and adults of Vanaraja than Aseel.

Key words: Gross morphology, Aseel, Vanaraja, Testis, Epididymis, Ductus deferens
