W. aPostpartum uterine and ovarian changes and estrous behaviour from lactation effects in normal and hormone treated ewes.h[electronic resource] c1976 aAbstract: The influence of (1) lactation and (2) three different hormone treatments were measured in fall lambing ewes. By day 67 postpartum, considering lactation effect, 89% of nonlactating and 33 % of lactating ewes showed estrous behavior (P<0.05). Nonlactating control ewes ovulated significantly sooner postpartum than ewes in other treatment groups. Both nonlactating and lactating ewes ovulated prior to demonstrating estrus. In the hormone treatments those containing estrogen tended to have earlier estrus which is assumed to reflect a direct effect. Uterine involution in all animals was generally complete by day 24. No apparent treatment differences in uterine epithelial cells, gland number and size, edema, or interstitial hemorrhage were noted during the 67-day postpartum period studied. Data from this study indicate that the reproductive tract appears acceptable for rebreeding several weeks before the ewes show behavioral estrus. aEstrogens aLactation aPharmacology aPhysiology aPregnancy aReproduction aSheep aUterus aFisiologia aOvino aReprodução aComportamento reprodutivo aDrug effects aGonadal Steroid Hormones aOvary1 aFOOTE, W.
