Summary: The use of color Doppler ultrasonography in multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) protocols for sheep allows the real?time monitoring of ovarian blood flow and potentially can be a tool to predict embryo production in sheep. Therefore, the present study tested the correlation of ovarian vascularization at 36 h after the end of the superovulation treatment and at 12h (Day 15) before the non?surgical embryo recovery (NSER) (Day 16) with estrus response (ER%), duration of estrus (DE), number of corpus luteum (CL), number of anovulatory follicles (AF), number of structures recovered (SR), number of viable embryos (VE; Grade 1-3).
