Follicular growth and ovulation were monitored in 18 horse mares during a control cycle and during a cycle in which the mares received a GnRH agonist, leuprolide acetate (LA; 200 or 400 mug), twice daily until ovulation. Prior to both of these cycles, follicular growth was suppressed using a 10-day estrogen-progesterone treatment regimen, with prostaglandin F-2alpha (10 mg) administered on Day 10. Four of the mares treated with LA remained anovulatory for at least 3 weeks after the end of treatment and were excluded from statistical analysis. The dosage of LA did not affect response. Treatment with LA significantly (P=0.0375) increased the percentage of large follicles per ovulation (i.e., follicles greater than 30 mm in diameter on the day on which the largest follicle reached 35 mm) and also increased (P=0.0539) the diameter of the second largest follicle. However LA did not significantly alter the number of ovulations. Mean daily concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) were not significantly different during treatment and control cycles. The LH in blood samples collected repeatedly on Day 19 after the start of estrogen-progesterone treatment did not show a difference in frequency or amplitude of pulses between treatment and control cycles. Mares were artificially inseminated during estrus and the embryos were recovered. Fewer embryos were recovered per ovulation from mares after treatment with LA (26%) than during the control cycle (64%). Results indicate that treatment with LA either suppressed follicular activity or induced multiple follicular growth.
