In this study, 24 Anatolian Black cows were randomly divided into four groups, each group was subjected to a different superovulation protocol. As regards the determined CL numbers, there was not effectiveness of different superovulation protocols (P>0.05). The protocol without exogenous progesterone application resulted in higher rate of unfertilized oocytes UFO (%43.8), compared to other protocols (P<0.01). FSH application in low doses gave the high embryo yield (%72.7) in comparison to the other protocols (P<0.001). As a result it was observed that the superovulation responses were not at adequate level despite the different superovulation protocols applied in Anatolian native black heifers.
