Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of age, body condition score (BCS), CL, pregnancy status and ovary localization on follicular population in Murrah buffalos using Ultrasound graphy technique. 160 female Murrah buffaloes (80 pregnant and 80 empty) with average age of 2- 11 years were used. All animals were maintained in a semi intensive system. The results obtained revealed that, ovaries of Murrah buffaloes with BCS 4 have higher number of follicles than those with BCS 3.The ovaries from pregnant animals have more number of medium size follicles as compared to those of non-pregnant buffaloes. The right ovaries in Murrah buffaloes have lower number of large follicles than left ovaries.
