Summary: Abstract: Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) is one of the most interesting reproductive biotechniques to be used in order to allow a rapid progression in the number of offspring per female. However, it is an underutilized reproductive biotechnology due to the variability of superovulatory response found and the high cost (Baldassare e Karatzas, 2004. AnimReprod Sci, 82/83:255-266). Brazilian naturalized breeds have socio-economic regional importance, but there is no studies reporting the effectiveness of in vivo embryo production on these animals. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of superovulation and viable embryo yield in Canindé and Moxotó goats raised and managed in different places. It is concluded that the in vivo embryo production is feasible in Brazilian naturalized goat breeds. Because of MOET protocol was developed in dairy goats, further studies considering breed special related features should be done to improve embryo yield and recovery, specialy in the Canindé breed.
