[The clinical effectiveness of FSH-P for induction of superovulation in cattle]

The clinical efficacy of FSH-P for the initiation of superovulation in cattle was examined on 1000 animals of the Deutsche Schwarzbunte and Rotbunte breeds of RPN Verden during the years 1988 and 1989. In untreated cattle only one embryo is found (R. J. Mapletoft 1983, Roselius 1989). In the group of the FSH-P treated animals, the number of transferable embryos was 5.8 +/- 3.6. The 25% percentile was 3 and the 75% percentile was 8. A seasonal dependence was not found.
