- •
Anestrous female goats show a reactivation of the gonadotropic axis when exposed to males.
- •
An intense sexual activity of bucks is a key factor for this “male-effect” under subtropical latitude.
- •
This effect can however be less efficient under temperate latitude where the photoperiodic inhibition of reproduction is stronger.
- •
Here we show that sexually active males are also very efficient under temperate latitude to induce ovulation in females.
