	abstract = {The feasibility of a juvenile MOET (multiple ovulation and  embryo transfer) scheme in sheep was evaluated in three trials using 6-7  month-old animals. Ovulation rate was not affected by the dose (1.3 vs  1.1) or the time (1.5 vs 0.9) of PMSG administration, but it was higher  in adults than lambs (2.0 vs 1.15, P<0.05) (Trial 1). Adults also  showed a higher percentage of animals in heat (89 vs 60, P<0.05) and a  higher percentage of eggs recovered (87 vs 56, P<0.05) or fertilised (82  vs 48, P<0.05). In Trial 2, a higher response was achieved with PMSG  than FSH-P, Ovagen or PMSG + Ovagen (4.18 vs 1.78, 1.06 and 2.05,  P<0.05). GnRH did not affect the ovarian response to gonadotrophins  (2.29 vs 2.25, P<0.05). Embryo viability appeared higher in lambs  treated with Ovagen alone. A combination of Ovagen + PMSG and with or  without GnRH did not improve significantly (P<0.05) the response  compared to the administration of PMSG plus GnRH (2.3, 2.8, 2.2 and 2.8  vs 1.7) (Trial 3). The superovulatory treatments involved failed to  induce satisfactory ovulatory responses in these prepubertal sheep.  },
