The main aim al this paper was to study the advance of the breeding season in Portuguese Serrana goats using a short-term progestagen treatment (PGF2alpha + FGA) and eCG associated or not to a previous melatonin treatment. In March, 35 adult Serrana goats were randomly divided in two groups: about half the goats received a subcutaneous implant of melatonin (18 mg) as the others got no treatment. Fifty days afte...
The main aim of this paper was to study the effects of different breeding - natural mounting vs. artificial insemination - and hormonal control protocols - melatonin + FGA + eCG vs. FGA + eCG - on the reproduction activity of Portuguese Serrana goats in the anestrous season. ln March, 60 adult Serrana goats were randomly divided in two groups: half the goats received a subcutaneous implant of melatonin (18 mg) ...
This study aimed to compare the efficiency of melatonin and/or a short-term FGA treatment in the advance of the breeding season in Serrana goats.
