Abstract:

The seasonal and post partum oestrus occurrence and ovarian activity, assessed by the plasma progesterone concentrations, were studied in Finn-cross ewes following autumn and winter lambings. The last seasonal oestrous cycle was followed by a silent ovulation in C0% of the Finn x Awassi ewes. Silent ovulations during midanoestrus occurred in 50% of the ewes, and in 90% of the animals a silent ovulation preceded the normal resumption of the seasonal sexual activity. The first post partum oestrus occurred within CO days after October lambings in about 90% of the ewes. Silent ovulations before the first post partum oestrus were evident in 70% of the recycling ewes. It is suggested that breeding ewes with ovarian activity after oestrus induction during anoestrous periods might increase the reproductive performance of the flock in a frequent lambing system. © 1984, Cambridge University Press.
