Abstract
Summary. The effect of two dose levels (1000 and 2000 i.u.) of three different commercially available batches of PMSG on the ovarian response (ovulations and follicles > 10 mm) of 42 heifers was examined in a randomized incomplete block experiment. Each animal was subjected to two consecutive but different treatments. A significant effect of dose was observed and there were fewer ovulations, but no reduction in the number of follicles, after the second PMSG treatment. There was no evidence that the ovarian response was affected by the PMSG batch used.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
