- Abstract
Infertility in bitch is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations depending on the disorders of reproductive system. Adjusting of ovarian hormonal activity is achieved by direct or indirect interconnection with other neuro-endocrine structures of hypothalamic-pituitary system. In the present study we aimed, based on the administration of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) combination, the induction of ovulatory oestrus in 10 bitches diagnosed with anoestrus. There were applied 2 therapeutic protocols. Therapeutic protocol no. 1 consisted of the administration for 9 consecutive days of 20 IU/Kg/day of PMSG, followed by the injection of an ovulatory dose of hCG - 500 IU/animal in the 10th day. Therapeutic protocol no. 2 consisted of the administration for 5 consecutive days of 20 IU/Kg/day of PMSG, followed by the injection of an ovulatory dose of hCG - 500 IU/animal in the 6th day. The results obtained in the two protocols were different. Rates of ovulation in bitches in the first protocol was higher compared to the ones of the second protocol.
