Extract

Thirty-one laporotomies, in addition to a number of confirmatory operations, were performed to determine the time of ovulation in the ewe. It was found that (1) ovulation did not occur during oestrus, (2) in ewes with oestrous periods lasting 30 hr. or more ovulation occurred a short time after the end of oestrus and that the time of its occurrence is related to the end and not to the beginning of oestrus, and (3) there is a minimum period of approximately 23–25 hr. before which ovulation does not occur, irrespective of the duration of oestrus.
