Abstract EN
The current study aimed to determine the effect of hormonal treatment with kisspeptin, GnRHand hCG on plasma testosterone concentration and semen characteristics in buck Cyprusgoats during non-breeding season as compared with breeding season.
This study wasexecuted at the Ruminant Researches Station pertaining to the Directorate of AgriculturalResearches, Ministry of Agriculture, Abu-Ghraib, Baghdad (latitude 33˚20' N) for the periodfrom November 15th, 2012 to December 31st 2013.
A total of 20 buck Cyprus goats 2 yearsold and averages 55 kg body weight.
During non-breeding season bucks were randomlydivided into five equal groups (4 bucks / group).
The first group (A1) was regarded as a controlgroup, i.
m injected with normal saline, whereas, the second (A2) and third (A3) groups were i.
vinjected with 4 and 8 µg / kg body weight of Kisspeptin-10 respectively.
The fourth (A4) andfifth (A5) groups were i.
m injected with hCG (250 IU / buck) and GnRH (20 µg / buck)respectively.
Plasma testosterone concentrations were significantly (P≤ 0.01 and P≤ 0.05)increased at 20, 30, 40 and 50 min post-treatment in A5, A2 and A3 groups as compared withcontrol A1.
Mass motility and individual motility were significantly (P≤ 0.01) in A5, A4, A2 andA3 as compared with control during non-breeding season.
In conclusion, our results showthat Kisspeptin-10, GnRH and hCG can stimulate the quiescent hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis of bucks during non-breeding season by increasing plasma testosteroneconcentration post treatment that leads improving some semen characteristics during nonbreeding season
