(Received 17th December 1974)

The technique of laparoscopy has been routinely used for repeated ovarian observation in the gilt (Wildt, Fujimoto, Spencer & Dukelow, 1973) as well as other species (Jewett & Dukelow, 1972; Rawson & Dukelow, 1973; Seeger, 1973; Snyder & Dukelow, 1974). In addition to its advantage for serial observations of ovarian morphology with minimal stress to the animal, laparoscopy has been found to be a practical substitute for laparotomy in other research areas.

There are several reports of the use of pregnancy diagnosis techniques in swine (Walker, 1967; O'Reilly, 1967; Mather, Diehl & Tumbleson, 1970; Lindahl, Martin & Dziuk, 1972; Diehl & Day, 1973), but these procedures are not accurate until 20 days after mating and do not provide an indication of the number of ovulations or of the uterine and ovarian morphology.
