Abstract

No presente trabalho, são apresentados dados sobre o diagnóstico de gestação realizado por ultra-sonografia em 45 rebanhos ovinos, durante seis períodos reprodutivos. Foram examinadas 27.089 ovelhas de rebanhos comerciais, acasaladas durante o outono. A porcentagem de prenhez(PP) variou de 77,3 a 89,9%, com uma PP média de 81,6%. Rebanhos de raças de carne (Hampshire Down, Suffolk e Texel) mostram em média a PP mais elevada que foi de 85,6%, seguidos de ovelhas cruzas, com PP de 82,9% e finalmente ovelhas de raças de lã (Merino Australiano, Corriedale e Ideal) com PP média de 80,8%. Prováveis causas de baixas PP observadas em alguns rebanhos são apresentadas e discutidas.In this paper, data from real-time ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis carried out in 45 sheep flock during six reproductive seasons are presented.
