Abstract:
17 African dwarf goats were treated with 4 different superovulation regimes. The results of the treatments were assessed spectroscopically and checked laparoscopically. The quantitative basis of the investigation is too small to allow statistically well-founded statements, but is indicative of distinctive trends. A proportion of 73% CL and CLA in the overall ovarian changes after treatment with 750 IE PMSG (2 days before removal of the sponge) and 125 micrograms PGF2 alpha (at the time of the sponge removal) proved an acceptable method of treating African dwarf goats as regards the requirement of labour and material as well as the superovulation effect.
