Superovulation in Murrah Buffaloes

Abstract

Superovulation of buffaloes is a critical
factor in the embryo transfer industry.
Several gonadotrophins have been used to
stimulate follicular development in buffaloes,
with large variability in ovulatory response.
The present study was done to assess
the superovulatory response to pFSH in
buffaloes. Nine Murrah buffaloes with a
palpable corpus luteum were given
intramuscular (i.m.) injection of Luprostiol
15mg (Prosolvin, lntervet, Holland) and
monitered for the onset of oestrus using
a companion bull. Day zero was taken as
Day of oestrus.
