Comparisons of the ovulatory and steroidogenic activities of the left and right ovaries of the ewe.
The ovary in which a CL was observed by laparoscopy in Finnish Landrace, Tasmanian Merino and Scottish Blackface ewes had no apparent effect on the location of the CL during the succeeding oestrous cycles, on the duration of the associated oestrous cycles, or on the peripheral progesterone concentrations on Days 7 and 11. Although 53% of CL were present in the right ovaries, the difference between the two sides was not significant.
