  • Title: The use of Gn-RH for controlling the oestrous cycle of the mare (preliminary report).
    Author: Heinze H, Klug E.
    Journal: J Reprod Fertil Suppl; 1975 Oct; (23):275-7. PubMed ID: 1107541.
    Abstract:
    Clinical tests with synthetic gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (Hoechst) were made during the breeding seasons of 1973 and 1974, using 128 mares injected with 1-0 to 4-0 mg of the substance intramuscularly. The mares were placed in one of five groups based on ovarian condition determined by clinical evidence. Some success was obtained in the induction of ovulation in mares with inactive and sub-normally active ovaries and in a small group having cystic ovaries. A large proportion of mares having a mature follicle responded within 48 hr, but others with atretic follicles failed to respond. The usefulness of Gn-RH for this purpose is discussed.
