Abstract: 【Objective】 The present study was designed to investigate the effects of different plasma physiochemical indexes on folliculogenesis in Hu sheep fed with different levels of diet during the luteal phase.【Method】Twenty-eight multiparous Hu sheep were assigned into 3 groups and received a maintenance diet (C group), 0.5×M (R group) and 1.5×M (S group), respectively, for 6 days of their estrous cycle. Six ewes in each group were laughtered on day 12 of the estrous cycle. The remaining ewes were received a maintenance diet until the next estrus. Blood was sampled on days 7, 8, 10 and 12 of the estrous cycle.【Result】As dietary intake increased, the number of follicles of ≥3.5 mm was significantly increased (P<0.05), the number of follicles of 2.5-3.5 mm was significantly decreased (P<0.05) and the estrous cycle was shortened (P<0.05). Compared with R group, S group significantly decreased the plasma urea, total cholesterol, free fatty acid concentrations (P<0.05) and significantly increased the plasma triglyceride concentration (P<0.05). The activity of lactate dehydrogenase in S group was higher than C group (P<0.05). There was no significant effect of treatment on plasma uric acid, plasma ammonia, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein concentrations and spartate transaminase, alanine transaminase activities (P>0.05), however, there was a significant effect of day on plasma uric acid, ammonia, low density lipoprotein concentrations and aspartate transaminase activity (P<0.05).【Conclusion】 Different nutritional requirements and metabolic features were present in different physiological periods during ovine luteal phase and the mechanism by which dietary restriction inhibited folliculogenesis may involve responses to the increased capacity of lipolysis and protein degradation and the decreased capacity of lipid and protein synthesis.
