O. aEstrous behaviour in crossbred Saanen goat submitted to long-term undernutrition. c2003 aEdição de anais do XV Congresso Brasileiro de Reprodução Animal, Porto Seguro, BA, 2003. aThe aim of this work was to compare the estrous activity of crossbred Saanen x SRD adult does raised in Northeastern of Brazil. For this, 15 % cross- bred Saanen x SRD goats were alocated in three nutritional groups: high (H), low (L) and low + high (LH). The body weight (BW), number of estrous cycles, as well as the length, were recorded. Although the means of BW in L and LH groups was statistically similar, the greater mass 1055 was recorded in L group (22.82% of initial BW). Means of BW, indicated a significant effect of nutritional treatment on in vivo performance groups (P < 0.05). Nutritional deficiency show to increase a percentage of abnormal cycles in L and LH groups. Length cycle was statistically similar (P > 0.05), while estrus length in HL group was lower than H and L group. In conclusion, the goats submitted to undermutrition showed insufficient in vivo performance as we// as abnormalities in the estrous behavior. aCabra aCaprino aCiclo Estral aNutrição aReprodução Animal aComportamento reprodutivo1 aLOPES JÚNIOR, E.
