The Effect of Gonadotropin Treatment on the Enhancement of Reproductive Efficiency in Palu Local Sheep

Sheep productivity is greatly contributed to by reproductive efficiency, especially in native breeds like Palu tail sheep, which are prized for their versatility and high-quality meat.Ovulation and conception rates, among other aspects of this breed's reproductive performance, are frequently below ideal.This study investigated how treating Palu tail sheep with gonadotropin hormones can improve their reproductive efficiency.The result showed that gonadotropin-treated groups exhibited a significantly higher oestrus response (Low-dose: 63.0%; High-dose: 100 %) compared to the control group (50%).The conception rates were 37.5, 62.5, 75, and 80.0 % to T0 (control), T1, T2, and T3, respectively.Statistical analysis showed that treatment with gonadotropin hormone has a significantly different effect on conception rate.The ewes, out of all, that received gonadotropin hormone treatment and got pregnant were evident.This suggested a favourable reaction to the gonadotropin.The hormone gonadotropin will cause such treated ewes to be ovulated.The administration of gonadotropin hormones significantly improved litter size in Palu local Sheep.The medium doses of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) 350IU+ human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) 200IU yielded the best result in terms of twin births and average litter sizes.
