Follicular growth is mainly controlled by gonadotropins and locally produced growth factors. However, many environmental<br />

factors such as nutrition can influence follicular development, oocyte quality, the rate of ovulation and consequently, fertility. Caloric supplementation<br />

causes an increase in circulating concentrations of glucose and insulin, leading to a rise in the number of follicles as well as an increase in follicular<br />

diameter and ovulation rate (SOMCHIT et al., 2007, Theriogenology 68, 1037-1046, VIÑOLES et al.,2009, Animal Reproduction Science 113,<br />

82-92). This study aims to evaluate the effects of increasing energy by 20% through dietary supplementation as an induction procedure and<br />

synchronization of estrus in ewes on ovulation rate, follicle diameter and circulating concentrations of glucose and insulin. Forty-three Santa Inês<br />

sheep were chosen and separated into two experimental groups where the Gcontrol group received a maintenance diet and the GM+20%<br />

received a maintenance diet with a supplementation providing a 20% increase of energy during the induction period and synchronization of<br />

estrus. The GM+20% group underwent a 6-day procedure where an intravaginal sponge was inserted containing 60 mg of medroxiprogesterone<br />

acetate (Progespon ® , Shering Plough Saúde Animal, São Paulo, Brazil). There was administration of 37.5 µg of d-cloprostenol (Veteglan ® , Lab.<br />

Hertape-Calier Saúde Animal S/A, MG, Brazil) and 200 IU of eCG (equine chorionic gonadotropin - Novormon 5000 ® , Syntex Ind. Biochemistry,<br />

Buenos Aires, Argentina) 24 h before sponge removal. The monitoring of ovarian follicular dynamics was carried out to determine the timing<br />

and number of ovulations, and the diameter of preovulatory follicles. Ultrasound examinations were conducted to evaluate follicular diameter and<br />

ovulation rate. Bloods was collected to determine plasma insulin and glucose concentrations and were made with the animals before diet was<br />

offered. Statistical analysis was performed through Duncan´s Test. In relation to plasma insulin concentration, it was observed that the GM+20%<br />

presented with high concentrations (1,66 ± 1,51 vs. 3,04 ± 3,66 (ng/mL) – P > 0,05). Plasma glucose concentrations did not change (70,20 ±<br />

7,72 vs. 69,70 ± 25,46 – (mg/dL) P > 0,05). The results showed no differences in follicular diameter (6,00±0,20 vs. 5,90±0,60- P > 0,05) or in<br />

the rate of ovulation (1,00 vs. 1,13 - P > 0,05) between the groups. Therefore the supplementation addressed in this study led to an increase in<br />

insulin, however was not sufficient to affect reproductive parameters and plasma glucose concentration.<br />

Only few studies are avaliable in the literature with use of Doppler in equine reproduction which has been used for study of<br />

vascularization of preovulatory follicle, follicular and oocyte quality check, vascularization of corpus luteum and uterus, establishment of<br />

pregnancy and evaluation of pregnancy. Recent studies with Doppler have shown changes in blood flow and vascularization of the follicular<br />

wall at the time close to ovulation. For this reason Doppler transrectal ultrasonography has been used in studies of ovarian and follicle<br />

hemodynamics in large animals. Ovulation is an outstanding event in the study of reproduction, which makes its induction a biotechnology of<br />

reproduction that deserves special attention. The products commercially available for ovulation induction are hCG and deslorelin, a GnRH<br />

analogue. HCG is a protein hormone with LH action. Its composition is similar to equine LH but with a half life much longer because contains<br />

much sialic acid. The deslorelin administered intramuscularly induces the release of endogenous LH by the mare. Objectives: Is absent in the<br />

literature studies concerned in compare the follicular vascularization after administration of hCG and GnRH, thus, the objective of this work was<br />

to check the variation on vascularization of the follicle after the ovulation induction with each one of the inductors. Material and methods: Two<br />

estrous cycles of five mares (
