Abstract
Ovulation rates were estimated by corpora lutea counts made after slaughter at 50 ± 4 or 100 ± 4 days of gestation. Mean corpora lutea counts of 14.5 ± 3.2 for gilts and 21.4 ± 4.4 for sows of the Lacombe breed are reported. The evidence suggested that ovulation rate was subject to a high degree of genetic control, but was not highly correlated with litter size at the stages of pregnancy examined.
