1. The sow's uterine horns are much longer than a cow's to accomodate for more than one offspring 2. The cervix is shaped like a corkscrew in the sow and is longer and thinner than a cow's 4. The sow's uterine tissue has endometrial folds; the cow's uterine tissue has caruncles and intercaruncular endometrium. 5. The myometrium is thinner in the sow than the cow 6. Both the sow and the cow have a bicornuate uterus, but the sow's uterine horns are highly developed (longer) than a cow's (see #1). 7. The sow has a mesosalpinx forming an ovarian bursa over the ovaries, but the cow does not have this. 8. Cows have a fornix vagina where sperm is stored; sows do not. 9. Cows have a cranial vagina with folds before the cervix; sows do not. 10. Cows have pronounced cervical rings; sows have what is called interdigitating prominences which is forms a sort of corkscrew passage in the cervix (see #2). 11. The corpus lutea is more prominant in the sow than in the cow. They are found outside the ovarian membrane in the sow; the corpus lutea are found inside the ovarian membrane.
