	abstract = {Ovaries were recovered either 0, 12, 24 or 36 hours or 10 days after  CIDR withdrawal, from 25 hinds in which oestrus had been synchronised.  All follicles > 2 mm diameter were dissected free of stromal tissue and their  health assessed on the basis of oocyte and theca condition, follicular fluid  oestradiol content, granulosa cell numbers and oestradiol synthesis. Hinds had an average of 26.6 + 3.45 follicles > 2 mm, of which about half  were healthy and 1-3 were oestrogenic. Every animal had at least 1 healthy  follicle > 7.5 mm diameter. Over the follicular phase, the percentage of  healthy follicles ranged from 46-66\%, but this did not change significantly  with time. Neither did the mean diameter of the largest oestrogenic follicle  change over the follicular phase. In summary, the total number of antral  follicles varied widely, but every hind had at least one large healthy follicle  present, irrespective of stage of the oestrous cycle.},
