Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the superovulatory response under effect of different FSH doses in superovulatory protocols. Santa Inês ewes (n = 24) received an intravaginal progesterone device (CIDR®) on Day 0, which remains until the Day 8. On Day 0 and 8 were also administered 0.125 mg of a synthetic analogue of PGF2? (Sincrocio®). In conclusion, best results in superovulation treatment in ewes were obtained using FSH dose of 100 mg. Higher doses of FSH (133 mg and 200 mg) are not indicated.
