Oestrus Synchronization using Cloprostenol in Red Sokoto Doe (RSD) in Sokoto
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dose determination study for the prostaglandin analogue cloprostenol was conducted in the Red Sokoto Does (RSD). 24 RSD were divided into four groups of 6 animals, the first group is the untreated control receiving 0μg of the cloprostenol. The second, third and fourth groups were given 50μg, 75 μg and 100 μg of the drug respectively. No oestrus response was observed in the control. All the animals in group 2, 3 and 4 were seen to come on heat between the 48 th and 96 th hour after the second injection, all the Does in these groups manifested heat (100% response). The study demonstrates that 50μg, 75μg and 100μg of cloprostenol are effective doses for synchronization of oestrus in the RSD. These findings were discussed in the paper. © 2012 Sjournals.

Body Measurement of Red Sokoto Bucks in Nigeria and Their Relationship with Testicular Biometrics
Ninety Red Sokoto bucks were used to assess the relationship between body, testicular and epididymal measurements in three age groups (group 1: 7-12 months; group 2: between 1 and 2 years and group 3: older than 2 years). The effect of age on body and testicular / epididymal measurements was analyzed. A predictive model was developed for each of the testicular / epididymal measurements using li...
