ABSTRACT:
Enhancement of pregnancy success in an animal is achieved by a method of treatment which includes administration of a single dose of melatonin during follicular development. An additional dose of melatonin can be administered during pregnancy to modulate accessory follicle formation. Novel compositions, which include a mixture of melatonin isomers or analogs, are also useful for enhancing pregnancy success.
