Abstract

Progesterone, oestradiol-I7β and luleinizing hormone were measured by radioimmunoassay in plasma samples collected daily or on alternate days following insemination in six ‘repeat breeder’ buffaloes. The endocrine profiles in these animals demonstrated that a variety of temporary disturbances in behaviour of these circulating hormones resulted in reproductive failure.
