Summary.
A flock of ninety ewes was divided into two groups and one group was orally drenched with ethylene dichloride extracted wheat germ oil (edc-wgo) over two breeding seasons. In ewes drenched with edc-wgo the lambing percentages of mated ewes increased by 12·9% and the number of ewes lambing by 7·6%. In Guernsey cows given edc-wgo there was no significant effect on the number of services per conception. The possible effects of oxygen uptake increasing components in edc-wgo on early reproductive processes are discussed.
