Induction of oestrus and pregnancy in the seasonal anoestrus permits lambing during the breeding season and mating in a short period of time after weaning, but after spring lambing postpartum anoestrus is longer than it is in autumn lambing, and no breeds are able to resume cyclic activity two months after lambing. Nutrient status has been shown to be a major factor affecting the onset of ovarian cyclicity in postpartum ewes. On the other hand, melatonin implants were demonstrated to be efficient in advancing the annual breeding season, but the efficiency of this treatment could be modified by the nutritional status of the animals. The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of exogenous melatonin, connected with the plane of nutrition after weaning, on the resumption of sexual activity and ovulation rate (OR) in a synthetic Spanish sheep breed lambing in spring.
