Abstract: Fifty-five adult female Boer goats under same conditions of feeding and treatment for super-ovulation were allocated to three groups(1donor:13 recipients). GroupⅠand groupⅡwere transported respectively in 3 and 6 hours to strange land far from original farm 2-4hours prior to collection and transfer of embryos. The goats in control group were still kept in farm. Ovarian examination and embryo/ova recovery were performed at laboratory on day 5~6 after mating. The most effective embryos were recorded in control group(15.30),followed by groupⅡ(13.38)and groupⅠ(12.91). There was no significant difference with respect to average effective embryos recovered between 2 experiment groups and control group. However,the highest pregnancy rate(71.29%)and the lowest rate of abortion(2.68%)were recorded in group Ⅰwhich was in good body condition. The lowest pregnancy rate(51.68%)and the highest rate of abortion(9.09%)were recorded in group Ⅱwhich was in pool body condition. The both records about pregnancy rate and rate of abortion in control group were 65.66% and 3.08% separately and were situated between group Ⅰand group Ⅱ.
