The effect of follicular and/or endocrine environments on superovulatory response was tested. Eighteen nonlactating Holstein cows were superovulated with 32 mg FSH-P given in decreasing doses at 12-h intervals plus two injections of prostaglandin F2-alpha (25 mg each) on the third day of treatment. Cows were assigned randomly to treatments: T1, superovulatory treatment initiated on estrous cycle Day 10.5; T2, CIDR (intravaginal device containing 1.9 g of progesterone) inserted from Days 3 to 9 and superovulation initiated on Day 6.5; T3, identical to T2 but Buserelin (GnRH agonist) was injected (8 mug, i.m.) on Day 3 at the time of CIDR insertion. Embryos were recovered on Day 7 after the superovulatory estrus. Cows were examined daily by ultrasonography and blood was collected for progesterone and estradiol determinations. Mean diameter of the dominant follicle (frequency of first-wave dominant follicle) at the beginning of FSH injections was 13.7 mm (4 6 ), 11.2 mm (6 6 ) and 8.7 mm (6 6 ) (P<0.01) for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Following initiation of superovulation, follicles moved into larger follicle classes (Class I, <3 mm; Class II, 3 to 4 mm; Class III, 5 to 9 mm; Class IV >9 mm) earliest in T1 (P<0.01). Cumulative follicular diameter and plasma concentrations of estradiol at Day 4 of superovulation were higher (P<0.01) in T1 (200 mm, 82 pg/ml) compared with T2 (123 mm, 24 pg/ml) and T3 (130 mm, 18 pg/ml). Proportion of cows in estrus prior to 12 h vs 12 to 24 h differed (P<0.05) between groups (T1: 5 vs 1; T2: 2 vs 4; T3: 1 vs 5). Mean number of follicles on the last day of superovulation treatment, number of CL and number of embryos plus unfertilized ova recovered were 17.5, 12.2 and 13.3; 13.8, 10 and 8.2 (P<0.1) and 8.7, 4.5 and 2.3 (P<0.05) for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The developmental stage of the dominant follicle was associated with not only the number of ovulations, but also the size and periestrous concentrations of plasma estradiol associated with the recruited follicles.
