Estrus reaction and fertility in peripubertal (acyclic) and pubertal (cyclic) gilts, were investigated, after treatment with gonadotropin (PMSG) or progestagen (Regumate) preparations. High level of synchronized estrus (90%), farrowing rate (72%) and satisfactory live born piglets per litter (9.87) were estimated in prepubertal gilts, treated by PMSG, after artificial insemination in subsequent spontaneous estrus. Within 7 days after treatment with Regumate, 83.3% of pubertal (cyclic) gilts were obtained in estrus. Only 46.7% of pubertal gilts, treated with PMSG, were in estrus, within 7 days after injection. Farrowing rate and live born piglets per litter, were not significantly different in relation with hormonal treatment.
