63 days
40
Why do spayed animals have a high LH?
No negative feedback
41
What corresponds to the LH peak?
Initial rise in P4

51
What is the most commonly used method for semen collection in the dog?
Manual stimulation and ejaculation
52
What is a method of semen collection that can be used in conjunction with manual stimulation?
Chemical ejaculation
53
Which method of semen collection may increase spermatozoa numbers?
Chemical ejaculation
54
