Ultrasonographic determination of ovarian follicular. Development in superovulated heifers pretreated with FSH-P at the beginning of the estrous cycle

On Day 3 of the estrous cycle (estrus = Day 0), dairy heifers were given either 10 mg i.m. FSH-P (FSH-P primed; n = 9) or a saline vehicle (saline primed; n = 9). On Day 10, all heifers were superovulated with FSH-P (total = 27.7 mg i.m.) in declining doses over 5 d. Heifers were inseminated artific...

Zusammenfassung:On Day 3 of the estrous cycle (estrus = Day 0), dairy heifers were given either 10 mg i.m. FSH-P (FSH-P primed; n = 9) or a saline vehicle (saline primed; n = 9). On Day 10, all heifers were superovulated with FSH-P (total = 27.7 mg i.m.) in declining doses over 5 d. Heifers were inseminated artificially at estrus. From Day 2 until estrus, the number and size of follicles >2 mm were monitored daily by ultrasonography. The mean (± SEM) number of corpora lutea (CL) (6.2 ± 1.5 vs 10.7 ± 0.9; P
