Effects of eCG and FSH on ovarian response, recovery rate and number and quality of oocytes obtained by ovum pick-up in Holstein cows
The goal of the present study was to compare the ovarian response, oocyte yields per
animal, and the morphological quality of oocytes collected by ultrasound guided follicular
aspiration from Holstein cows treated either with FSH or eCG. Twenty four normal cyclic,
German Holstein cows were randomly divided into two groups. Fourteen cows received
3000IU eCG on day-4 prior to ovum pick-up (OPU)(day 0), 2 days later (day-2), 625μg
cloprostenol was administered. On day-1 GnRH was administered im and 24h later OPU …
