Function of the oviduct?
The oviduct or the Fallopian tube is where an ovum or egg passes from an ovary. The ovum will either be fertilized by sperm and become a zygote, or will just degenerate in the body.
How can the oviduct be blocked?
A woman can only become pregnant if an ovum (egg cell) from her ovary is released into the oviduct and fertilised by a sperm there before moving down into the uterus and becoming implanted in the endometrium wall. If your oviducts are blocked, the ovum cannot travel into it and meet sperm so it can be fertilised so pregnancy is impossible.
Where does the sperm go in a cow?
Sperm, which is in the semen from a bull, goes from the bull's penis into the Fornix Vagina of the cow, which is located vagina close to the cervix. Sperm then travels through the maze of the cervix, and into the uterus. From the uterus, they travel up the uterine horns (or one of them) to the ovum or egg that has been released from the ovaries into the infundibulum down to the oviduct.
Is the hen egg fertilized after the shell formation?
No. The egg yolk is fertilized before the yolk and albumin are joined and well before the shell is formed. The oocyte (yolk) is produced during ovulation. This is released into the oviduct where it is fertilized by a sperm from the sperm sac previously deposited by the rooster. The yolk continues down the oviduct fertile or not and is surrounded the vitaline membrane, then by albumin and then shell membrane and finally the calcite that hardens into the actual shell. This takes about 24 hours.

Because the egg cell is carried down the oviduct by little hairs called cilia and the sperm cell has to reach the egg cell before it gets to the uterus (womb).
Where does the sperm reach the egg?
The sperm is made in the testis and when sexual intercourse happens the sperm travels through the Sperm tube, into the penis out of the penis and into the vagina it then travels into the Fallopian tube. And finally one of the sperm will meet the egg in the oviduct and fertilisation will happen then a baby will start developing.
