Summary
The primary objectives of this project were specifically limited to the development and testing of prototype subcutaneous implants to provide a controlled delivery of Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) for the purpose of inducing ovulation in anoestrous ewes.
The project was originally foreshadowed as a three year project with a schedule of target objectives as follows:- Phase 1:- Preparation of various matrix formulations to obtain a controlled delivery of GnRH. Phase 2:- . Testing of implants in preliminary trials to examine effects on ovulation and luteinizing hormone release. Phase 3:- Preliminary field testing and optimization of treatment regimes.
