Factors affecting postpartum ovarian activity of goats in tropical semi-arid region


 There have been few studies on the use of diets and strategies to reduce length postpartum anoestrus in dairy goats, especially tropical semi-arid regions. This review discusses factors influencing return ovarian activity goats. During period, goats are puerperal their reproductive tract is being prepared for a new conception. Anoestrus necessary tissue renewal uterus (uterine involution) associated with cyclic activity, influenced by such as suckling offspring, social interactions, body condition score (BCS) before after birth, intensity negative energy balance (NEB) stress from adverse climatic conditions. The period can be extended delays resumption females puerperium. duration directly affects productivity herd mainly nutrition, lactation heat stress. To minimize effects productivity, we recommend mating season plan kidding well program monitor during pregnancy so that animals will better BCS at parturition. balance, suggest nutritional supplementation levels above requirements maintenance.
