Induction of Multiple Ovulation In mares Following Multiple Treatment With Low Dose Buserelin

Embryo transfer is one of the most popular assisted reproductive techniques applied to the horse. Despite a relatively high physiological twin ovulation rate in some breeds used for embryo transfer (ET) (Warmbloods and Polo Pony mares), the mean number of ovulation per cycle was 1.31 (1513 ovulations from 1156 cycles) with an overall multiple ovulation (MO) rate of 29% (27.1 double ovulation, 1.9% triple and 0% quadruple) and an overall 0.81 embryos per flush (933/1156) in Polo Pony mares in a large field study in Argentina [1].
