26
Q

vulva

A

outside, exposed part of the repro tract

27
Q

Type of estrous

A

seasonally polyestrous

breed in fall

28
Q

how long does the estrous cycle last?

A

17-24 days

average is 21 days

29
Q

how long is gestation?

A

5 months

30
Q

gestation

A

aka pregnancy

31
Q

estrous cycle

A 
proestrus
estrus 
metestrus
diestrus
anestrus
32
Q

proestrus

A

2-3 days

development of endometrium and ovarian follicles

33
Q

estrus

A

32-40 hours

ovulation occurs, receptive to mating

34
Q

metestrus

A

2 days

sexual inactivity, formation of luteum

35
Q

diestrus

A

11 days

Functional corpus luteum, increase in blood concentration of progesterone

36
Q

anestrus

A

-7 months prolonged period of sexual rest

37
Q

Qualities of a good breeding doe

A 
age
good health
temperament 
conformation
mothering abilities
38
Q

Breeding preparation

A
  1. pre-breeding vaccines
  2. flushing
  3. signs of estrus
39
Q

Chlamydia vaccine

A

prevents late term abortions

40
Q

leptospirosis vaccine

A

prevent early term abortions

41
Q

campylobacter vaccine

A

prevents late term abortions

42
Q

chlamydiosis

A

Most abortions in last month of pregnancy

treatment: antibiotics

43
Q

flushing

A

increase in high quality feeds given to does prior to breeding

2 weeks before introducing buck

44
Q

signs of estrus (receptivity)

A 
back-pressure test
flagging
vocalization
urination
increased sociability
45
Q

flehmen response

A

Goat curls his lip back and inhales through nostrils

Helps trap pheromone scents to be analyzed

46
Q

ultrasonography

A

detect pregnancy, number of fetuses, and the health of the fetus

47
Q

ultrasonography dates

A

18+ days- amniotic fluid
28+ days- fetal heart beat
40-70 days- best time for counting fetuses
50+ days- sexing the fetus

48
Q

2 types of reproduction

A

natural breeding

artificial insemination

49
Q

Artificial insemination pros

A

pros: Genetic improvement

Extends the use of semen from superior male lineages

Prevents the spread of disease

Less bucks held at the farm
Expensive
Dangerous

50
Q

Artificial insemination cons

A

Lower success rate than natural breeding

Expensive
AI equipment
Specialized training

Labor intensive

51
Q

ai preparation

A
  1. choosing does
  2. flushing
  3. estrous synchronization
  4. teasing
52
Q

AI Preparation: Choosing Does

A 
Good BCS and FAMACHA
Adequate weight
Experienced mom
Age
Temperament
History of reproductive success
53
Q

AI Preparation: Estrous Synchronization

A

Essential for successful artificial insemination

The process will bring does into heat

54
Q

AI Preparation: Teasing

A

Teasing: Exposure to a buck after months of absence will induce heat in does
A doe should exposed without contact
Will come into heat 24-96 hours after exposure
First cycle is non-fertile- Short cycle
Will come back into heat 8-10 days after short cycle

55
Q

Progesterone

A

High when corpus luteum is functional

Drop in progesterone and rise in estrogen: Induces ovulation

56
Q

Lutalyse

A

Injection contains synthetic prostaglandin

Lyses any pre-existing corpus luteum

57
Q

AI Preparation: CIDRS

A

Controlled Internal Drug Release
Gradually releases progesterone
Absorbed through mucous membrane in the vagina and enters the blood stream
Mimics the progesterone production of the corpus luteum
Once the CIDR is removed and Lutalyse is administered, a drop in progesterone will occur
50-55h after removal a doe will come into heat

58
Q

CIDR Administration

A
  1. Put gloves on and insert CIDR into the applicator
  2. Wipe down applicator with alcohol
  3. Apply sterile lube to the end of the applicator
  4. Insert applicator into the vulva and depress the plunger
  5. Cut string shorter to prevent CIDR from falling out
59
Q

Estrus Synchronization Timeline

A 
10-14 days prior to teasing: flushing
day 0: teasing
day 3: lutalyse injection
day 8: CIDR insertion
Day 13: CIDR removed and lutalyse injection
60
Q

AI Preparation: Heat Checks

A

Does will come into heat 50-55 hours after CIDR removal
Begin 8 hours after removal
Does should be observed for heat behavior every four hours

61
Q

AI Preparation: Heat Behaviors

A

Look for heat behaviors during heat Checks
Flagging
Urination
Vocalization
Standing for the back pressure test
Interested in buck
Bucks are best at detecting heat behavior
Pay attention to which does he is interested in

62
Q

AI Preparation: Scheduling

A

Schedule artificial insemination 12 hours after heat behaviors are detected
Onset of estrus in AM, AI in the PM

63
Q

AI Procedure: Preparing the Doe

A

Restrain and position doe so her rump is elevated
Clean vulva with warm iodine and rinse with water
Dry the vulva

64
Q

Where do you deposit the sperm for AI?

A

Deposit the sperm in the first or second ring of the cervix
