Description |
A study was conducted to assess the progesterone concentration prior and during pubertal period in Vembur lambs. Blood samples were collected from the Vembur sheep maintained in the organized farm (Instructional Livestock Farm Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu) as well as from farmers flock in its breeding tract (Thoothukudi and Virudhunagar districts of Tamil Nadu, India). The serum progesterone concentration was performed by Radioimmunoassay. Serum progesterone level from 40th to 70th weeks of age ranged from 0.01±0.00 to 17.53 ± 1.33 ng/ml in the ewes in Instructional farm and 0.09±0.03 to 13.50±1.70 ng/ml in the animals of farmer’s holdings. |
