Influence of GnRH administration on timing of the LH surge and ovulation in dwarf goats

This study was conducted to determine whether or not exogenous gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) alters the timing or improves the synchrony of estrus, the LH surge, and ovulation following estrous synchronization in dwarf goats, and to assess the effects of season on these parameters. In Januar...

description This study was conducted to determine whether or not exogenous gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) alters the timing or improves the synchrony of estrus, the LH surge, and ovulation following estrous synchronization in dwarf goats, and to assess the effects of season on these parameters. In January and June, estrus was synchronized in 12 Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf goats with a 10-day progestagen sponge, 125 μg cloprostenol i.m. 48 h before sponge removal, and 300 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) i.m. at sponge removal. Six of the 12 goats were given 50 μg GnRH i.m. 24 h after sponge removal. Onset of estrus was monitored using two males. Samples for plasma LH were collected at 2 h intervals beginning 22 h after sponge removal and ending at 48 h in January and at 58 h in June. Time of ovulation time was confirmed by laparoscopy at 36, 50, 60, and 74 h in January and at 50, 60, and 74 h in June. Administration of GnRH had no significant effect on the onset of estrus; however, it reduced the interval from sponge removal to the LH surge and improved the synchrony of the LH surge ( P
