Keywords:
Ongole, superovulation, embryoAbstract
Fifteen parous Ongole breed cows were repeatedly superovulated for 23 times using two Follicle Stimulating Hormone
(FSH) preparations - the Super ov and the Folltropin. 82.6 percent animals responded to superovulation. A total of 46 embryos were
collected non-surgically of which 27 were viable. Among the animals responded to superovulation the overall mean ovulation rate,
total and viable embryo recovery rates were 9.68±1.79, 2.42±1.29 and 1.42±1.00 respectively. There was a significant (P>-0.01)
difference between groups in the mean ovulation rate and the mean total and transferable embryos.
