Summary: This study assessed the effect of different FSH dosages for superovulation and the feasibility of transcervical embryo recovery in Lacaune ewes. Ewes (n = 2 5) received 60 mg medroxiprogesterone acetate sponge (Progespon®, Syntex, Buenos Aires, Argentina) for nine days, 37.5 μg d-cloprostenol i.m. (Prolise®, Tecnopec, São Paulo, Brazil) 24 h before sponge removal and 50 μg gonadorelin (GnRH analogue, Gestran®, Tecnopec, São Paulo, Brazil) 24 h after sponge removal. The protocol for cervical relaxation was efficient to allow the transcervical embryo recovery of Lacaune ewes.
