A total of 35 crossbred goats were used to evaluate the effect of oFSH dosages on ovarian responses during superovulation. CIDR was inserted for 10-15 days and were divided into 3 groups, namely Groups M,, M2 and S receiving 8.8 mg and 14.08 mg of oFSH through multiple intramuscular (i.m.) injection starting from 2 days before the CIDR removal and 8.8 mg of oFSH through single i.m. injection up...

The possible effect of body condition score (BCS) on ovarian function, sexual behavior, (i.e., females and males; appetitive consummative), estrus, ovulation, reproductive performance was investigated in crossbred dairy goats under extensive conditions. Based their BCS, female (n = 48) were divided into two experimental groups, either with a low (LG; 1.0 ± 0.2 units; n 26) or high BCS (HG: 2.5 ...

The objectives of this study were to characterize the mating capacity of bucks under range condition and assess the effect of mating frequency on flock fertility. Two adjacent flocks of crossbred goats (Criolloxdairy breeds; n=70 does, 5 bucks and 141 does, 4 bucks) were used in this study. The mating period was 16 and 20 days for each flock, respectively, in January and February, 1996. Mating ...
