Ovulation in Black Bengal nanny goats

Abstract

Normally cycling primiparous Black Bengal nannies were studied by laparotomy at 8-h intervals from 24-48 h after the onset of estrus. The ovulation rate was 4.00 and ovulation occurred from 32-48 h after the onset of estrus. The activity in the 2 ovaries was equal. For the most meaningful utilization of an artificial insemination technique in goats, it is essential to know the characteristics and sequence of ovulation in the particular breed.
