To determine the temperature
conditions during ovulation induction, not only the egg quality at
ovulation but also its deterioration due to over-ripening needs to be
taken into account. The objective of the present study was to detect the
optimum water temperature after MIS injection to induce the final oocyte
maturation and ovulation especially from a viewpoint of acquiring
fertilized eggs by the stripping and insemination method. We examined
the effects of water temperature on the progress of final
