Half of the ewes received either 0 or 300 IU of pregnant  mares{\textquoteright} serum gonadotrophin (PMSF) at the start of superovulation  treatment. M ewes had two thirds as many ovarian surface follicles >1.5  mm diameter compared to E and L ewes (8.8 vs 13.6 vs 13.0; P<0.001). M  ewes had approximately two thirds as many ovulations present 8 days  later compared to E and L ewes (5.1 vs 7.7 vs 7.7; P<0.05). For ewes  receiving 300 IU of PMSG as well as FSH, there was a significant  regression of follicle number on ovulation rate (b=0.73},
