    abstract = {The current study investigated the ovarian response to gonadotropin 
  for establishing a suitable protocol of superovulation in Bactrian camel. Fifteen 
  female camels were randomly divided into 4 groups to compare 4 different superovulation 
  protocols during the natural breeding season. Each camel in 4 groups was injected 
  with FSH at 80, 80, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40 and 40 mg, respectively total dosage 
  of 480 mg, for consecutive 4 days at 12 h intervals. The camels in group 2-4 
  were naturally mated and subsequently injected 300 IU LH 48 h after the last 
  injection of FSH, the camels in group 1 received the same procedure exception 
  of LH injection. Ovarian follicles and corpora luteas were observed through 
  synchronistic laparotomy 7-9 days after natural mating. The results indicated 
  that there is no significant difference in average ovulation rate (p&gt;0.05) 
  among group 1-3 nor among group 2-4. However, there is considerable difference 
  between group 1 and 4 in average ovulation rate (p&lt;0.05), among which the 
  value is highest (81.38&plusmn;6.44%) for group 4 but lowest (16.89&plusmn;7.98%) 
  for group 1. Furthermore, the average number of follicles has yet no obvious 
  difference (p&gt;0.05) among group 1-3 nor among group 2-4 but significant difference 
  (p&lt;0.05) between group 1 and 4. Comparatively the animals in group 1 yielded 
  highest average number of follicles (9.80&plusmn;1.50). Conclusively, the protocol 
  4 had a best superovulatory effect with an average corpora lutea 9.33&plusmn;1.45 
  and therefore it can be used for superovulation in camels.}
