Effect of Gonadotropin Treatment on the Ovarian Response in the Angora Rabbits

성선자극홀몬 투여가 Angora토끼의 난소반응에 미치는 영향

The present experiment was carried out to investigate super-ovulating response, ovulation time and fertilizability in the angora rabbit that gonadotropin was treated. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. Number of ovulating point and ovarian weight in PMSG 100I.U.(25${\pm}$2.45;1104.2${\pm}$110.6mg) and PMSG 200I.U.(30.6${\pm}$1.76, 1330.0${\pm}$153.9mg) treated group were significantly higher than natural mating(6.6${\pm}$1.49, 560.2${\pm}$60.6mg) and HCG treated group(9.8${\pm}$0.8;651.6${\pm}$55.1mg)(P<0.01). 2. Survival rate and recovery rate in natural mating, HCG and PMSG 100I.U. treated group were significantly higher than PMSG 200I.U. treated group.(P<0.01)(P<0.05). 3. Ovulation started at 10hrs and mostly finished at 16hrs after HCG injection. 4. The fertilizable life of egg ovulated was during 8hrs after ovulation.
