Extract

1. The object of this investigation has been to advance knowledge of the methods necessary for the practical application of the transplantation of fertilized ova in cattle.

2. The induction of ovulation at any specific time can be produced by squeezing out the corpus luteum per rectum. Oestrus occurs from 2 to 4 days afterwards; this is accompanied by ovulation and the ova so produced are readily fertilized. The onset of oestrus after the expression of the corpus luteum is hastened by previous treatment with P.M.S.

3. The induction of multiple ovulations is necessary to produce an augmented supply of fertilized ova, but it is of primary importance that the ova so produced are fertilized, viable and capable of full development. Four methods of doing this have been tested.
