* Donor is superovulated to provide large numbers of mature follicles.
* Pre-ovulatory follicles collected by surgical procedure involving aspiration of the follicular content.
* Direct follicle aspiration:
** A hyperdermic needle is inserted into the follicle.
** Follicular fluid is aspirated.
** Follicular fluid forcefully returned to the follicle.
** Repeated 2-3 times to dislodge oocytes.
* Transvaginal Aspiration in the Mare:
** Prior to the procedure, mares are injected with propatheline bromide (sedative) to relax the rectum.
