Abstract
Eight superovulated Toda buffaloes were studied ultrasonographically to record the biometry of the ovarian
structures and superovulatory response during superovulation and flushing programme, conducted in this breed as a
breed conservation measure. Ovarian size (10 buffaloes) and structural changes (eight superovulated buffaloes) were
monitored on a) the 10th day post heat (before initiation of FSH) b) Post SOV heat (the 3rd day of superovulatory heat)
and c) on the day of flushing. The animals were subjected to superovulation with either 400 or 600 mg FSH (Folltropin
V). The superovulation was initiated from the 10th day of the estrous cycle, and embryos were collected on the 5.5 to 6
day of post superovulatory (SOV) heat.
