Prepuberal gilts were treated with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) to study the effects of its dosage on ovulation rate, fertilization rate after artificial insemination, embryo viability, and rate of development and incidence of chromosome abnormalities in Day-4 embryos. Gilts received 750 IU, 1250 IU or 1500 IU of PMSG, followed 72 h later by 500 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Gilts were inseminated 28 to 30 h following the hCG injection, and resulting embryos were collected on Day 4 post ovulation. Ovulation rate was higher in the 1250 IU group than in the 1500 IU group or the 750 IU group. The 1500 IU dose caused excessive stimulation of the ovary, resulting in the occurrence of large (>10mm diameter) unovulated follicles, reduced fertilization rate and low embryo recovery rate. There was no difference in the incidence of chromosome abnormalities among the three groups, although the 1500 IU group had higher embryonic mortality than the two lower dose groups. A dose of 1250 IU PMSG increased ovulation rate above that achieved by 750 IU and, therefore, increased the number of oocytes or embryos available for transfer or for other studies, without sacrificing embryo viability or increasing the incidence of chromosome abnormalities.
