Abstract: In the first experiment, 10 ewes (¼ Finnish Landrace: ¾ Clun Forest) were maintained under natural daylength conditions and 10 were exposed to a constant daylength of 8 hr from 22 December until 1 June. No difference was demonstrated between treatments in dates of cessation of oestrous activity. It was concluded that oestrous activity will eventually cease, whether or not daylength increases after the shortest day. In the second experiment, 40 similar ewes were mated at first oestrus of the natural breeding season (mean 7 September) and lambed in January. Twenty ewes suckled lambs and 20 had lambs removed within 24 hr of birth. No sucked ewes showed oestrus before the end of the breeding season, but 9 non-sucked ewes showed oestrus at a mean interval of 37·5 days after lambing and 4 of these subsequently lambed. Suckling appeared to inhibit oestrous activity and conception in ewes at this time of year. |
