The effect of menopausal gonadotropin (pergonalR) on molting hens was studied in a five week experimental period. Forty-eight molting hen weighing 1.8kg +0.18were allocated randomly to four treatment groups. Hematological parameters, follicle stimulating hormone, progesterone, and Hen day production were evaluated. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference in the hematological values. Follicle stimulating hormone significantly (p<0.05) increased while progesterone significantly (p<0.05) decreased as the dosage level of pergonalR administration increased. Hen day production significantly (p<0.05) increased in hens administered with pergonalR. The highest hen day production was recorded among hens administered with 24.0 IU. The result of this study revealed that human menopausal gonadotropin reduced molting period and could be used to restore egg production processes in molting hens. 1442327679.php
