This study was undertaken to determine whether a single i.m. injection of FSH dissolved in 10 ml of 30% (wt/vol) polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP; MW=40,000) to form FSHp would induce follicular growth in Thai native heifers and to determine its optimal dose. In Group 1, heifers (n=4) were given multiple i.m. injections of FSHp every 12 h for 3 days at decreasing doses, for a total of 100 mg (control). In Groups 2, 3 and 4, heifers (n=4 in each group) were given single i.m. injections of FSHp at 50, 100 and 150 mg. All heifers received a single injection of 750 μg PGF2α 48 h after the initiation of exogenous FSH treatment. Ovaries of treated heifers were examined by transrectal ultrasonography every day until they showed estrus. Group 3 showed significantly higher numbers of ovulation follicles, significantly higher growth rates of follicles per day and significantly larger diameters of follicles and corpora lutea than groups 1 and 2 but not Group 4 (P<0.05). Group 4 showed significantly higher numbers of large follicles (≥5 mm in diameter), unovulated follicles and ovulations, a significantly higher growth rate of follicles per day, and significantly larger diameters of follicles and corpora lutea (P<0.05) than those of the other groups. This indicates a state of overstimulation of ovaries in this group. Besides, the plasma levels of FSH in Group 4 were significantly higher (P<0.05) than in the other group and were maintained in the range of 2.2–0.7 ng/ml over a period of 6 to 66 h after the FSHp injection. Meanwhile, the plasma levels of P4 and E2 did not differ in any of the groups in the period of 0 to 96 h during the superstimulation program. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that a single i.m. injection of 100 mg FSHp was the most effective dose for superstimulation of follicular growth in Thai native heifers under the experimental conditions in this study.
