Abstract:
:In male goats, being in permanent visual contact with females in estrus does not prevent seasonal variation in certain endocrine hormone levels and sexual activities. In this study, we tested whether continuous and full contact with females in estrus prevented seasonal endocrinological variation in bucks. In 1 experiment (Exp. 1), we verified that the sudden introduction of goats in estrus increased the plasma concentrations of androgen in bucks during the nonbreeding season under our experimental conditions. In another experiment (Exp. 2), we tested the ability of estrous goats to prevent seasonal inhibition of LH and androgen secretions in bucks kept in permanent and full contact with them. In Exp. 1, 3 groups of bucks (n = 5 in each group) were isolated from females from the months of July to January. On January 27, one group continued being isolated from females; a second group was exposed to ovariectomized, untreated goats; and a third group was exposed to ovariectomized goats with induced estrus. Plasma androgen concentrations were determined every 2 h from 8 h before to 8 h after the introduction of females. The introduction of estrus-induced goats significantly increased androgen concentrations, which were higher than in the isolated bucks, as well as in those exposed to untreated goats (P < 0.05). In Exp. 2 (n = 5 per group), one group of bucks was isolated from females from October to July, whereas two other groups remained in contact with ovariectomized goats, either untreated or regularly induced to estrus. In the three groups of bucks, plasma concentrations of LH were determined once during the months of October, February, March, and June, whereas androgen concentrations were determined weekly from October to July. The mean plasma LH and androgen concentrations were low and did not differ among the groups of bucks during the normal seasonal period of sexual inactivity (P > 0.05). We conclude that full contact and sexual interactions with estrus-induced goats failed to stop the seasonality of LH and androgen plasma concentrations of bucks, although bucks could respond to the introduction of females by acute increases in plasma LH and androgen.
