O USO DO ACETATO DE DESLORELINA E DA GONADOTROFINA CORIÔNICA HUMANA NA INDUÇÃO DA OVULAÇÃO EM ÉGUAS

Abstract

Mares are animals that have great variation in the duration of estrus, and it is not possible to identify the exact moment of ovulation. Thus, the present work has the scope to approach the most used hormones nowadays for ovulation induction in mares, the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) known as Deslorelin and the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG). It aims to verify the effectiveness of these hormones and the reproductive performance of mares after their use. The methodology used has a bibliographic character of a qualitative nature, with a descriptive purpose, through a review observing the publications available in the Google Scholar and Scielo databases.
