Resumo: In this work the objective was to identify the fetal sex in pregnant uterus, between 5 and 10 weeks, of goats and ewes obtained in slaughterhouse. The sex was defined taking into consideration the localization of the GT and visualization of external genitalia. The uterus of goats (n = 108) and ewes (n = 64) were examined after immersion in a water containing recipient, with 6.0 and 8.0 MHz linear transducer. In single pregnancies, the correct fetal determination was 85.7% (48/56) in goats and 94.7% (36/38) in ewes and in twin pregnancies was 76.9% (40/52) in goats and 84.6% (22/26) in ewes. There is no mistake in fetal quantification and the accuracy from the all fetuses scanned was 81.5% (88/108) in goats and 90.6% (58/64) in ewes, being not observed difference (P > 0.05) between species, by analyse of standard errors of the difference among proportions. The results allow to conclude that the ultrasonography is efficient to identify previously the fetal sex in small ruminants and that the experience of operator is important to reduce and even eliminate the failures in diagnose.
