This study was carried out to investigate the effects of PMSG and/or HCG treatment on superovulation and fertilization in the golden hamster. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The female groups treated with 30 IU PMSG or 30 IU PMSG＋25IU HCG ovulated more eggs than those treated with 15 IU PMSG or 15 IU PMSG＋25IU HCG(P<.01). All the PMSG treatment groups superovulated as compared with the untreated control group(P<.01). There were no differences on fertilization rate between the superovulated groups and the control group. 2. The fertilized ova were obtained only by the female group treated with 30 IU PMSG at 1000hr on day 1(morning of ovulation) of the estrous cycle. 3. The intervals between PMSG and HCG injection necessary to obtain the consistent superovulation and fertilized ova were 66hr and 72hr. 4. The superovulated ova were collected from oviduct 48hr, oviduct and uterus 72hr, and uterus 96 hr after mating. 80.3% of two cell, 75.8% of eight cell, and 73.7% of blastocyst of the ovulated ova occurred 48hr, 72hr, and 96hr after mating, respectively.
