Summary: The objective of this study to develop a pharmacological protocol cervical dilatation in ewes Santa Ines aimed at collecting embryos transcervical. Multiparous ewes were used (n=30), cyclic, aged 24 and 48 months, with an average weight of 50.7 ± 5.4 kg and body scores between 2.75 and 3.5 (1-5) in design experimental model in "crossover".
