* The ovary is attached to the broad ligament by a well-defined strong ligament which extends from the hilus of the ovary to the tip of the corresponding uterine horn.

* Both ovaries are enclosed within a fold of the mesosalpinx known as the ovarian bursa, the apex of this bursa forms a large circular orifice within which lies the fimbriae of the oviduct.

* Their general appearance and size varies according to the age and activity of the animal. ** In the prepubertal animals they have a smooth and glistening surface with several raised small vesicles (2 - 5 mm in diameter) throughout the surface which correspond to the [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicles]].

** In anoestrous females the [[Female_Reproductive_Tract_-The_Ovary_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|ovaries]] are oval or circular, flattened laterally and have an irregular surface due to many small [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicles]].
