...tuitary gland to release hormones needed to stimulate ovulation. Clomifene is useful in those who are infertile due to anovu- lation or oligoovulation. Clomifene inhibits estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, inhibiting negative feedback of estrogen on gonadotropin release and leading to up-regulation of ovulation. It has useful effects on the reproduction of female in terms of reduction in puberty and ovulation induction. The beneficial effects are manifest...

Post-treatment, the cats were monitored twice a day to determine the sexual behavior of estrus based on clinical signs, using a male detector and taking a swab from the vagina to confirm the estrus phase. Also, on days 14, 30 and 60 after treatment, reproductive hormones (estrogen and progesterone) were analyzed in the blood. The results of the current study revealed that interestrus days w...

These results suggest that supplements did not significantly affect feed and nutrient intake, complete blood count, blood metabolites, and hormones. However, there was little benefit to animal health when growing male goats were fed high-concentrate diets. Furt...
