AB  - Intramuscular administration of buserlin at a dose of 20 mg to camels caused estrus in all animals 3 days after injection. Significant increase in the concentration of progesterone occurred in these animals compared to those treated with saline. But the corpora lutea formed were short lived. Subcutaneous injection of somatotropin at a dose of 25 mg in these animals, caused sustained luteal function. It is concluded that one way to overcome luteal failure in camel is to administer somatotropin.
