Resumo: The efficiency of different biotechnologies applied to reproduction of the bovine female is closely related to the quality of ovulatory follicles. The recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST-r) has been described as stimulating follicle and oocyte. In this work we evaluated its influence on superovulatory response and embryo quality in Bos indicus cows, located at State of Pernambuco, Brazil.. Twenty cows, 10 in control group and 10 in treatment group (BST) were used. The animals in the BST group were treated with 500 mg of r-bST and controls with sterile saline solution every seven days totaling four applications until beginning of superovulation protocol (SOV). This began on a random day of estrous cycle considered D0, with the introduction of intravaginal Progesterone device (P4) combined with 2 mg of estradiol benzoate. At D4 it started follicular stimulation with 200mg of Follicle Stimulating Hormone in eight decreasing doses, with two daily applications. At D6 0.5 mg of cloprostenol was administered, with the P4 being removed in D7 and 24 hours after 1500 IU of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin was administered, and artificial insemination was performed 12 and 24 hours later. In D15 and 16 collections of embryos were carried out by non-surgical method, evaluated, classified and stored for later evaluation by fluorescence microscopy. All animals underwent monitoring of follicular dynamics in the days of treatment, collection and during the SOV protocol and collection of embryos; body condition score (BCS) was evaluated every seven days. The results were analyzed by ANOVA with a significance level of 5% . The BST group showed follicular diameter and number of follicles significante higher at some moments and it was seen a significant reduction of ECC (p<0.05). In other hand, only a numeric increase (p<0.05) was observed in the number of corpus luteum, total and viable embryos. It was observed a higher proportion of embryonic development stages more mature in BST group. So it was concluded that r-bST favors a strengthening of the SOV, however not targeting the ultimate goal, or a greater number of embryos, although numerically this occurred. Further study are necessary on application form and dosage used, based upon high variability of the results showed in other studies.
