Abstract

1. Ovulation is induced by intravenous injection of LH preparation in gonadotrophin-treated 7-day starved hens. 2. 0.1 mg of the LH preparation used in this experiment is asumed to be the minimum dose for forced ovulation. 3. About 8 hours is the time interval between LH administration and rupture of follicles in such treated hens. 4. It was not possible to induce ovulation of small immature follicles by 2 mg of LH.
