Abstract

Healthy breedable does were synchronized for estrous either with natural progesterone impregnated
intravaginal sponges (AVIKESIL-S, for 15 days in situ, n=20) or long acting progesterone (50 mg, 0.2 ml/doe, i.m.,
P-Depot, n=20) at an interval of 3 days for 5 occasions. Both the group of does received 125 μg cloprostenol on
the day of sponge withdrawal or after the completion of injectable progesterone treatment. Another group of does
(n=20) were maintained under routine managemental practices without any hormonal treatment. In brief, the does
treated with vaginal sponge had better exhibition of estrus as compared to other does.
