Abstract
Extract
Sheep ova are normally obtained from the reproductive tract using the flushing techniques described by Hunter et al. Citation(1955). Oviduct flushes, in the writers' experience, give a higher recovery of ova than uterine flushes, but they result in more adhesions of the tract, which can cause infertility. Consequently, the development of satisfactory uterine flushing techniques appears necessary before ova can be recovered repeatedly from superior ewes. This paper describes such a technique.
