| Abstract | ||
| The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics / College of Agriculture / University of Basra , from 1/5/2013 to 18/12/2013. The aim was to study the possibility of fertilization of Oocytes in vitro by sperm withdrawn from the epididymis . Reproductive tracts were brought from Basra slaughter house with a total of 410 samples. Withdrawing the sperm from the epididymis and oocytes from small follicles (less than 4 mm) and from large (more than or equal to 4 mm) .Rams aged (1.2 -2) years showed significant superiority (P <0.01) in sperm individual motility and live sperms in comparison with older ones . In vitro fertilization by using semen of ( 1.2 – 2) years rams and an oocyte of greater than or equal to 4 mm was superiorly significant (P <0.01) and showed a division into two or more cells. | ||
