Abstract
The present study was designed to observe the effect of supplementation of PUFA enriched diet on superovulatory response, embryo quality, embryo recovery and conception in cattle. Donor (n=6) and crossbred recipient cows (n=24) were selected and divided into four groups viz; control (no treatment), T-1 (treatment given to recipient only), T-2 (treatment given to donor only) and T-3 (treatment given to both recipient and donor). The superovulatory response, mean ovulation rate ,mean embryo/ova recovered, recovery rate and average transferable embryos was found to be 75% v/s 100%, 12.25 ± 2.70 v/s 12 ± 0.71,3.5 ± 1.54 v/s 7.5 ± 1.60, 28.57% v/s 62.5 % and 50 % v/s 80 % in non-treated (control + T-1) and treated (T-2 + T-3) groups respectively. On the basis of our results, it can be concluded that flax seeds supplementation is effective in increasing above measured parameters following embryo transfer.
