Abstract

The mean onset of estrum was 26.18±0.70 and 17.85±0.44 h in the FSH and PMSG group, respectively. In
the present study, the onset of estrum was significantly (P<0.0 1} earlier in PMSG than FSH. The mean duration
of estrum in PMSG group was longer(44.27±0.86 h} than FSH group (32.58±2.00 h) and highly significant (P<0.01).
The mean number of ovulation was significantly higher (P<0.05) in FSH group (12.07±1.01) than PMSG group
(5.17±1.62), might be due to low LH content or more FSH activity. In FSH group (8.00±0.73} the mean number of
total embryos recovered was significantly higher than PMSG group (3.33±1.14).ln conclusion, FSH could be used
effectively and to superovulate goats with higher superovulatory response and recovery of embryos.
