    Abstract:
    A total of thirty water buffalo cows aged 3 to 8 years were treated for superovulation over the July-October period. Nine of the animals were injected with FSH at the rate of 40 mg at 12-hour intervals in the course of 4 consecutive days, and the remaining 21 animals were injected with 3,000 IU gestyl in the middle of the luteal phase. Forty-eight hours after stimulation started both groups were treated with 500 micrograms cloprostenol. Five out of the 9 buffalo cows (55.5 per cent) of group I and 15 out of 12 buffalo cows (71.4 per cent) of group II manifested estrus at an average interval of 44.4 +/- 3.6 and 40.5 +/- 3.29 hours, respectively, following the application of cloprostenol. The superovulatory treatment of the animals of the two groups led to average values of 5.6 +/- 1.89 and 4.0 +/- 0.98 corpora lutea and 1.0 +/- 0.63 and 2.7 +/- 1.41 follicules larger than 8 mm; 2.6 +/- 1.60 and 2.1 +/- 0.94 embryos of high quality were obtained through the use of a nonsurgical method of flushing.
