The aim of the work was to evaluate the rates of estrous, superovulatory response and embryos recovery in Moxotó goats after three treatments with porcine FSH. Twenty goats were synchronised with medroxyprogesterone acetate sponges (60 mg for 11days) and cloprostenol (l00 mug on ninth day). The animals were superovulated with 250 IU of FSH-p in 8 decreasing doses at intervals of 12 hours. The repetition of superovulatory treatment decreased estrous symptoms, but didn’t affect the ovulation rate and decreased the regressed corpus luteum rate. The embryos recovery was affected by regressed corpus luteum and embryo collection technique.
