[et al.] (2004) - The reproductive effect of kidding : artificial insemination interval in goats. In International Congress on Animal Reproduction, 15, Porto Seguro, 2-12 August - Proceedings. Vol. 2. P. 380.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.11/1831Goat production in Portugal, even for milk, is based on indigenous breeds in extensive systems. Reproduction is based in April/May mating, with the kidding period in September/October. Artificial Insemination (AI) is a fundamental tool to implement breeding schemes for those breeds, which never had any improvement scheme, other than done empirically by the owner/shepherd. Te goal is to identify the necessary interval between kidding and oestrous synchronization or AI, in order to obtain acceptable reproductive parameters.engGoatArtificial inseminationconference object
