Abstract :This study aimed to evaluate the superovulation response in Eastern Anatolian Red insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EAR); cows treated with a single epidural injection or traditional administration of follicle stimulating hormone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FSH);. Eight cows were randomly divided into two groups, as control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CG); and experiment insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EG);. Four replications were applied for each animal in the groups. A total of 16 studies were carried out in each group. In this study, 300 mg intramuscular insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.m); FSH injection was applied with decreasing doses twice daily for four days to the cows in the CG. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(70:70, 50:50, 20:20, 10:10 mg);. On the other hand, 300 mg FSH was administered as 150 mg epidural and 150 mg intramuscular injection to the cows in EG. The number of untransferable embryos and the total CLs were found statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. However, the number of transferable embryos and unfertilized oocyte insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(UFO); were found statistically insignificant among the groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. According to the obtained data, it was observed that the epidural administration of FSH for superovulation in EAR cows did not provide sufficient follicle and oocyte development. In conclusion, different studies with different superovulation protocols and FSH doses in local breed EAR cows will be needed for further studies.
