“…Similar results have been observed by our group following the insertion of exogenous melatonin implant around the spring equinox, without a previous long-day treatment (Zarazaga et al, 2009a). However, it will be necessary to study the oestrus/ ovulatory response to the LD-M treatment in entire females isolated from males and in contact with males to confirm that the presence of males did not modify the response to the LD-M treatment in entire females.…”

“…Together with the data obtained by our group using a treatment with melatonin implants (Zarazaga et al, 2009a), our findings are, as far as we are aware, the first of this type observed in melatonin-implanted goats, because the male effect is a normal practice when melatonin implants are used. The only results in the bibliography, from a similar study of the effectiveness of melatonin implants without separation of the males, are those obtained in ewes (Forcada et al, 1995).…”

“…The last suggests that goats might expend 2Á3 months to develop refractoriness. Male presence, have also induced reproductive activity in melatonin-implanted Mediterranean female goats causing a small retardation in the reactivation of reproductive activity during the natural breeding season (Zarazaga et al 2009). …”

“…However, it has been emphasised that male 'novelty' could be more important than male isolation ). Male presence has also induced reproductive activity in melatonin-implanted Mediterranean female goats causing a small retardation in the reactivation of reproductive activity during the natural breeding season (Zarazaga et al 2009). Also, it has been observed a 2Á3 months interval from summer solstice (21 June) to ovarian activity resumption in goats exposed to either natural photoperiod or controlled cycles of artificial photoperiod 6Á12 months long (Escobar et al 1997).…”
