Variation of sexual behavior of photo-stimulated bucks during the transition from winter to spring in the semi-arid climate of Mexico

Luis Sifuentes, María Jesús Palomo Peiró, et al.

Experimental design depicting the dates when the photoperiodic treatment was applied to bucks, behavior tests and sampling of plasma testosterone. Bucks were exposed to ovariectomized females during non-breeding period. Bucks were submitted to a treatment of artificial long days (16 h of light and 8 h of darkness) from November 1 to January 15. Afterwards, bucks received the natural photoperiod. Buck sexual behavior was recorded weekly from March 1 to April 26. Blood samples were taken weekly from January 18 to May 31 to determine plasma testosterone concentration.

Previous sexual experience does not improve estrous behavior and ovulatory activity in seasonally anestrous goats in contact with photo-stimulated bucks

Ilda Graciela Fernández, José Alfredo Flores, et al.

Sexual behavior of photo-stimulated bucks exposed to sexually experienced females (black bar), with restricted sexual experience (white bar), and sexually inexperienced (gray bar). Sexual behavior of bucks was recorded the first 3 days of contact with females. Bucks were subjected to artificially long days (16 h of light and 8 h of darkness per day) for 2.5 months from 1 November to 15 January, after which they were held under natural photoperiod conditions.

| Sexually inexperienced ewes display lower estrous behavior during the first contact with rams. The objective of this study was to determine whether sexually inexperienced anestrous females...
