“…From literature, the major factors controlling the onset of puberty are body weight and growth rate rather than age (Joubert, 1963; Boyd, 1977; McDonald, 1980; Mancio et al., 1982). Studies by Penzhorn (1975), Shokamoto and colleagues (1975) in cattle and Fasanya and colleagues (1992) in goats, showed that nutritional level affected age at puberty but did not influence body weight changes. In contrast, the present study demonstrates that nutritional level affects both age and body weight at puberty (Table 2).…”

A weaner doe was deemed to have reached puberty when the first elevation in plasma progesterone concentration above 0.1 ng/ml was followed by at least two elevated concentrations in the next three consecutive samples (Fasanya et al., 1992). It was assumed that the first of such rises in progesterone concentration was preceded by an ovulation 3–4 days earlier.…”
