Insertion of intrauterine device in nine goats shortened the oestrous cycle length to an average of 10.44 days as compared to the average oestrous cycle length of 17.55 days in nine sham-operated control animals. The oestrous cycle length was reduced irrespective of the fact whether the IUD was ipsilateral or contralateral to the corpus luteum, indicating a systemic effect rather than local effect of the IUD, as seen in other animals such as the sheep, cow and guinea pig. There was no effect on ovulation, which occurred normally despite the presence of the IUD.  aGoats  aPhysiology  aReproduction  aCaprino  aFisiologia  aReprodução1 aGUPTA, R.
