PMSG is a potent gonadotrophin, with dual FSH and LH activity. It is 
composed of two non-covalently associated alpha and beta subunits, and 
is heavily glycosylated on its CTP tail. This extensive glycosylation is
 of key importance for obtaining the extended half life in blood typical
 of PMSG. As PMSG binds to FSH and LH receptors, it stimulates 
follicular growth and follicular maturation during the days preceding 
oestrus and ovulation. Limited amounts of PMSG will result in induction 
and synchronization of ovulation in cattle and small ruminants, 
irrespective of their cyclicity prior to treatment. Administration of 
slightly higher amounts will modestly increase ovulation rate and litter
 size. Administration of high amounts of PMSG will result in 
superovulation, therefore resulting in the numerous blastocysts needed 
for embryo transfer. PMSG also has the potential to induce puberty in 
swine.
