Local Effect of Pregnancy on the Corpus Luteum in the Pig: Modifications of the Utero-Ovarian Anatomical Relationship¹

Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station,^,4 Columbia 65201

Abstract

CONCEPTION rate was not affected by a sham operation or by ligation of one uterine horn. However, when 6 cm of the an terior tip of one uterine horn was turned posteriorly and attached, or 6 cm was removed from one uterine horn, pregnancy rate was reduced to 60% and 57%, respectively. Pregnancy rate was further reduced to 17% in gilts when a segment (6 cm) of both uterine horns was turned posteriorly. Unilateral luteal regression occurred in some gilts where utero-ovarian modification was made in one uterine horn.
