but the use of 5 mg of pLH by the intramuscular route did not affect the IOEO (p > 0.05). Furthermore, 47.1% of VS2.5FTAI gilts ovulated within 24 h compared with 25.5% in the control group (p < 0.05; Fig. 1a), whereas 31.4% of IM5FTAI gilts
ovulated within this time. When analysed separately, frequency of gilts ovulating at each time of evaluation
did not differ (p > 0.05) among groups (Fig. 1b).
