Abstract

The female age including, 2-3 days aged old (young aged), 17-18 days aged
old (middle aged) and 31-32 days aged (old aged) mated with virgin male (5-6 days
aged old). The results by SPSS software analayzed that in almost all of experimental
young aged old had significantly level than middle and old age. Fecundity elements,
in young age was greater than middle and old age, also the female ovariole elements
when mated with male young age was more than middle and old age. This variability
suggests that female age effected on the male reproductive performance and female
fitness traits. Therefore, the female age specific possibility occurrence on reproductive
access as follows by: young > middle >old aged.
