- Induced ovulator
- Y-shaped Uterus
- Almost all pregnancies carried in the left Uterine Horn.
- Ova shed from the right ovary must migrate down the right Uterine Horn to the Uterine Body and up the left Uterine Horn in order to establish pregnancy.
Hymen
- Membrane 3-4cm thick
- Persists from embryonic development in maiden females.
- Tough to break down, some males may fail to achieve it.
- Mating will stimulate ovulation and subsequent rejection of the male by the female but no pregnancy.
- May require assistance to break the hymen of maiden females using a sterile-gloved finger.
