    abstract = {A total of 18 parous, healthy and cyclically sound 2-3 years old West African dwarf goats were used to study the effect of repeated super-ov treatment on superovulation and embryo recovery rate.  The goats were divided into 3 treatment groups identified as T<SUB>1</SUB>, T<SUB>2</SUB> and<SUB> </SUB> T<SUB>3</SUB> consisting of 6 goats in each group.  T<SUB>1, </SUB>the control was administered with physiological saline, T<SUB>2</SUB> administered with super-ov regarded as Initial treatment and T<SUB>3 </SUB>regarded as repeated administration of super-ov.  The results show that the superovulatory response (CL) during initial and repeated stimulation averaged 7.57±0.52 and 6.85±0.48, respectively. The higher embryo recovery 78.00±0.08% in repeated group differed significantly (p&lt;0.05) from initial super-ov treatment 45.00±0.06% and the control group 30.00± 0.02%.  The lower number of embryos and transferable embryos of 4.00±0.60 and 3.75±0.85, respectively in the initial super-ov treatment than to second stimulation 5.00±0.84 and 4.85±0.94 were due to ovarian hyper stimulation in these animals. The results indicated that super-ov treatments induce superovulatory response in West African dwarf goats.}
