The day of the estrous cycle that FSH is started and superovulation in cattle
1Rio Vista International, Inc. Route 9, Box 242 San Antonio, TX 78227 USA.
Abstract:
A total of 993 commercial donor cows were superovulated with 28 mg FSH-P. The first injection of FSH-P was administered on one of days 9 through 13 of the donor's estrous cycle. The day that FSH was started did not affect total embryos collected, the number of transferable embryos or the percent transferable. These results did not support the current hypothesis that because the population of antral and preantral follicles in the ovaries on days 9 and 10 is higher, best embryo production should be achieved by starting donor cows on day 9 or 10 of the estrous cycle.
