DOMESTIC CAT (FELIS CATUS) POLYOVULAR FOLLICLES

SUMMARY

The ovaries collected from two cats (one seven months and the other four years old) were histologically prepared. Polyovular follicles (2-3 oocytes per follicle)in all stages of development were found, significantly more in the younger cat.It seems that they appear in the moment of primordial follicle development, when the future follicular cells surround more oocytes. They do not have major functional signification and they do not represent the cause of polyovulation.
