In twenty ewes of the Slovak Merino breed coming from a demonstration farm at Zemplínska Teplica, to the age of two-three years biometrical variations of the sex organs and overall follicular response to PMSG and PGF2 alpha administration were investigated in the autumn period (October-November). In the ewes of all groups the heat was synchronized by i. m. administration of PGF2 alpha (Oestrophan Spofa) at a dose of 125 micrograms in the interval of 11 days. On the ninth day the ewes of the second and fourth group were given 1000 i. u. of PMSG (Antex Leo, Denmark), the ewes of the third group 750 i. u. of PMSG. The ewes of the third and fourth group were administered at the same time 50,000 i. u. vitamin A (Axerophtol Spofa) (each group). The weight and dimensions of the sex organs were investigated. The results demonstrate that the administration of PMSG in the mating period increases significantly the weight of oviducts and horns of uterus in the ewes while there are no variations of the weight of the other sex organs and of their length, or it is lower than in the ewes of the control group. The overall follicular response was not influenced by the higher weight of ovaries.
