Abstract

In this study, the effects of progestagen and different doses of PMSG (250 I.U and 400 I.U) treatment on pregnancy, lambing and multiple birth rates in Border Leicester x Booroola (Ff) x Merinos and Border Lecister x Booroola (ff) x Merinos ewes in the anoestrus cycle were examined. It was found that in ewes with Ff genotype, 250 I.U PMSG dose had a positive but nonsignificant effect on the pregnancy rate and it was significant (p
