Abstract
Fifty-seven dairy cows that were diagnosed with infertility due to ina ctive ovaries were divided into four groups and treated with electroac upuncture, aquapuncture, hormones or no treatment, respectively. After insemination, the pregnancy rates were 80% in the electroacupuncture group, 46.7% in the aquapuncture group, 73.3% in the hormone group and 16.7% in the untreated group. Four cases that did not respond to horm one treatment conceived after receiving electroacupuncture. Levels of milk progesterone levels were monitored in all groups.
