“…107, the twin pregnancy rate and average number of fetuses were 54.2% and 1.54, respectively. The total pregnancy rate and the twin pregnancy rate in bilateral egg transferred cows were reported 54-76% and 56-76% in surgical methods (Rowson et al, 1971;Sreenan et al, 1975;Sreenan and Beehan, 1976;Anderson et al, 1978;Anderson et al, 1979;Newcomb et al, 1980;Anderson et al, 1982) and 57-60% and 50-52% in nonsurgical methods (Renard et al, 1977;Heyman and Renard, 1978), respectively. The results of total pregnancy rate and twin pregnancy rate in this study were similar to those reported by Renard et al (1977), Heyman and Renard (1978), and these values were considerably higher than those obtained in the unilateral twin egg transfers in Japanese Black cows (Suzuki et al, 1986).…”
