Seasonal reproductive characteristics of Tan sheep (A) and ovarian sections of Tan sheep at different sampling stages in this study (B). (A) The anestrus season is usually from April to July for Tan sheep, and the other months are the breeding season. In the breeding season, every estrous cycle is approximately 17 days, including the luteal phase and follicular phase. (B) In ovarian sections from anestrous ewes, no large corpus luteum or follicles were observed (a). An obvious corpus luteum with a diameter of more than 5 mm was observed on the ovary surface at the luteal phase (b), and a large antral follicle was found in the follicular phase (c)
