| Research Abstract |
Improvements in reproductive rate in domestic animals have profound positive effects on overall efficiency of production. The present study provided knowledge of the nutritional related substances regulating the reproductive activity in cows and goats. Nutritional management that induced a rise of blood levels of those substances promoted secretion of sex hormones, the number of growing follicles and ovulation rate in goats. These results indicate that novel and effective strategies for reproductive management as a natural, ethical and inexpensive tool being different from the medication treatment can be established from the nutritional point of view.
