  • 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.
