Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to determine the diameter variations of immature oocytes and cumulus oocyte complex quality from different size of Indonesian local goat follicle. The ovaries obtained from slaughterhouse. Follicle diameter classified into 3 groups: small (<3 mm), medium (3-5 mm), and large (>5 mm). Oocyte was aspirated from follicles and it was divided into 3 groups based on the oocyte diameter: group 1 (<160.5 µm), group 2 (160.5-170 µm), and group 3 (>170 µm) and observe the quality of cumulus oocyte complex. The results indicate that size of follicles significantly affect to oocyte diameter (p<0.05). Large size follicle produces oocytes with a large diameter. The diameter of oocytes significantly correlated to the quality of oocyte cumulus complex (p<0.05). It was concluded that the follicle size significantly affect to the oocyte diameter and oocyte cumulus complex quality.
