The effects of application of differentiated PMSG rates (Antex Leo, Denmark) were investigated in 30 ewes of the Slovak Merino breed in the period of May--June in experimental conditions on the induction of superovulation and on the speed of egg transport through the sexual organs. After administration of PMSG at rates of 750, 1000 and 1500 i. u. per head/day, increases were recorded in the average weight of ovaries, number of large follicles and ovulations. Flushing the eggs from different parts of the sexual organs indicated that the higher the PMSG rate, the faster was the egg transport.

D006064	Gonadotropins, Equine	Gonadotropins secreted by the pituitary or the placenta in horses. This term generally refers to the gonadotropins found in the pregnant mare serum, a rich source of equine CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. Unlike that in humans, the equine LUTEINIZING HORMONE, BETA SUBUNIT is identical to the equine choronic gonadotropin, beta. Equine gonadotropins prepared from pregnant mare serum are used in reproductive studies.
