Contents:The objective qf our research was to describe follicle changes during the last hours and minutes before ovulation, and to characterize the process of evacuation of follicularfluid. Sixty five ewes, from 1.5 to 4 years old and weighing 4060 kg were used.Research was conducted during second half of 1992. Laparoscopic observations were performed during the last I0 hours bcfore ovulation. Thirty three cases of ovulation were video recorded. Follicle size during the 10 hours before ovulation remained unchanged (average diameter was 6.5 mm). Colour, vascularization and convexity were undergoing significant changes during the last two hours before rupture. Follicle fluid was discharged under high pressure in a single jet, or slowly oozed out, thus representing two different types of ovulation.
