Abstract |
A controlled study was conducted to evaluate chronological relationship
between oestrus onset, time of LH surge and ovulation time in does
synchronized with Fluorogestone with different doses of pregnant mare
serum gonadotropin (PMSG). For the purpose of the study, a total of 90
desert goats were used in this experiment. All does were treated with
impregnated vaginal sponge containing 45 mg Chronogest. Upon sponge
removal, animals were divided randomly into 3 groups (A, B, and C) and
assigned to different PMSG doses (group A, 300 IU, group B, 500 IU and
group C, 700 IU). There were no significant differences (P>0.05) between
the treatment groups for the onset of oestrus or oestrous duration.
Ovulation was occurred 54 hours post removal (HPR) in group A and 48 HPR
in group B and C. LH surge reached 28 hours post removal, irrespective
of the treatment. The chronological relationship between ovulation and
oestrous onset was significantly longer in group A compared with group B
and C. The time taken from LH surge to ovulation was significantly
longer in group A (25.5 hours) compared with group B and C (19.7 and
19.8 hours, respectively). There was no significant difference in the
time taken from LH surge to ovulation in group B and C. These results
imply that the increasing doses of PMSG, following a 12 day treatment
with intravaginal sponges significantly affect the ovulation time and
chronological data in desert goats.
