Different schemes of PMSG treatment on some reproductive parameters in sheep were studied. Two groups of 6 sheep each at the end of the non breeding season were treated with vaginal sponges Chrono-gest (Intervet, Holland) containing 30 mg fluorogeston acetate (FGA). The sponges were removed 12 days after insertion. Sheep of the experimental group were injected with 500UI Folligon (Intervet, Holland) 48 hours before sponge removal whilst the corresponding control sheep were treated with the same dose Folligon at the day of of sponge withdrawal. The clinical signs of oestrus, plasma progesterone concentrations and changes in the ovarian morphology during the observation period were registered. The conception rate, fertility and twinning rate were also recorded. The results show that the earlier application of the gonadotropin influence positively the reproductive traits in ewes.
