The objective was to enhance the inherent developmental ability of bovine oocytes retrieved
by ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration. Various hormonal regimes were utilized to
produce partially matured oocytes in vivo, in order to improve embryo development following
IVF. In the first experiment, a two-by-two factorial design was used with FSH (multiple versus
single dose) and im administration of LH (yes versus no) 6h prior to OPU. In all protocols
(which lasted for nine consecutive weeks), ovarian stimulation was performed in the …
