The morphological changes in ovaries and hormonal changes after superovulation by PMSG ( I 000 I.U.)
and its neutralization with Anti-PMSG administered 8-10 hours after the onset of estrus were studied in Surti goats.
Anti-PMSG decreased the number ofunovulated follicles from 6.5 in control to 3 .83 in treated animals and increased
the ovulations from 2.17 in control to 3.83 in treated animals. The estradiol levels decreased after onset of estrus
and increased level of progesterone were observed in the treated animals. However. the differences were statistically
non-significant.
