Trial 1 comprised 54 goats allocated to receive two 37.5?g d-cloprostenol doses at intervals of seven (T7, n=19), 10 (T10, n=18), and 11.5 (T11.5, n=17) days. Trial 2 comprised 62 goats allocated to receive injections at T7 (n=30) and T11.5 (n=32). Ultrasonography was done and blood was collected just before d-cloprostenol injections. After the second dose, goats were artificially inseminated (AI) with frozen-thawed semen at 18-24h (Trial 1) or at 10-24h (adjusted according to the time of estrus onset in Trial 2) after estrus detection. Estrus response rate did not differ (P>0.05) among groups in Trials 1 (T7=94.7%; T10=88.9%; T11.5=88.2%) and 2 (T7=90.0%; T11.5=96.9). All females showed progesterone concentrations >1ng/mL before both d-cloprostenol injections. The largest follicle diameter present on ovaries was similar (P>0.05) among treatments at the first and second dose. The second largest follicle diameter was superior (P<0.05) to T7 than to T10 and T11.5 goats at first dose only. This possibly resulted in lower interval to estrus (P<0.05) in T7-treated goats than other treated goats in both trials. The conception rate was similar among treatment groups in Trials 1 (T7=55.6%; T10=18.8%; T11.5=26.7%) and 2 (T7=85.2%; T11.5=93.6%). The three treatments efficiently synchronized estrus. T7 and T11.5 protocols resulted in high estrus synchrony and conception rates when adjusting the AI time according to interval of estrus. aArtificial insemination acloprostenol aGoats aProstaglandins aReproductive performance aCaprino aCiclo estral aEficiência reprodutiva aInseminação artificial aProstaglandina aSincronização do cio aOestrous cycle aPGF 2 alpha aPGF2 alpha analog aSynchronization aSynchronized females1 aBRANDÃO, F.
