title: [Superovulation induction in buffalo cows (Bubalus bubalis) with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)].
abstract: A total of 19 buffalo cows were used to induce superovulation following a pattern that included the use of FSH at the rate of 40 mg in the course of four days, applied twice a day and of Oestrophan at 48 hours after the beginning of treatment. Fifteen animals manifested estrus and were twice inseminated. The superovulation response of the ovaries was 4.3 +/- 0.8 yellow bodies and 0.5 +/- 0.24 follicles greater than 8 mm. A nonsurgical method was employed to obtain 24 embryos of high quality and an unfertilized ovum from 8 buffalo cows.
