Variations Saisonnières Du Comportement d'ŒSTRUS Et Des Activités Ovarienne Et Hypophysaire Chez Les Ovins

Abstract: Le comportement d'oestrus cyclique et l'activité ovarienne ont été étudiés chez les mêmes brebis de races Ile-de-F y ance et Préalpes pendant deux années consécutives. Il existe des différences raciales dans la durée de l'anoestrus saisonnier. Les brebis de race Préalpes ont un anoestrus de 114 jours, et celles de race Ile-de-France, de 179 jours. Des différences individuelles ont été mises en évidence. Ainsi, certaines brebis de race Préalpes n'ont pas d'anoestrus, d'autres au contraire ont un anoestrus très … Show more

“…Out-of-season breeding is observed today in some herds where a few females happen to present sexual receptivity at a time when the remaining ewes are in sexual rest. The capability of breeding out of season differs according to the sheep breed (Thimonier and Mauléon, 1969;Thimonier et al, 2000). Our results suggest that this trait already existed in the 5th millennium BC sheep herds, and that these lambs born out of season survived in a context of prehistoric husbandry.…”

“…Over 10 500 years of manipulation separates today's European domestic sheep breeds from their wild ancestors, during which time population redistributions, management of demography and diet, and adaptation to economic rules have modified their ancestral heritage (Hafez, 1952). In spite of this, small ruminants have retained seasonal breeding behaviour, although differences have been observed between present day sheep breeds with a regionally focused history (Hafez, 1952;Thimonier and Mauléon, 1969). Reconstructing the history of sheep breeding seasonality over a long time scale, starting with the unimproved domestic herds from prehistory, could assist with a better understanding of the reasons for the retention of this characteristic and its variability over millennia of domestication.…”

“…La variation saisonnière de l'activité sexuelle est une caractéristique commune à plusieurs races ovines (Hafez, 1952 ;Wheeler et Land, 1977 ;Mauléon, 1980 (Land et al, 1973 ;Wheeler et Land, 1977 ;Valls et al, 1977 (Guerra et al, 1972) (Goodman, 1978). L'allongement de l'intervalle qui sépare deux phases lutéales peut être lié à un ralentissement de la maturation folliculaire et/ou à un retard de la décharge pré-ovulatoire de LH (Yenikoye et al, 1982 (Thimonier et Mauléon, 1969 ;Land et al, 1973. ;Wheeler et Land, 1977 …”

“…Moreover [24]. Nevertheless, even with spring testing, there is a risk of selecting either ewes with only a sporadic activity preceded and followed by anestrus periods as observed by Thimonier and Maul6on [45] or ewes with a completely changed breeding season without any increase in the duration. In selection experiments, Dzabirski and Notter [7] showed an advanced date of lambing in autumn for ewes with spontaneous ovulatory activity in spring in comparison to ewes responding to ram introduction.…”
