Some observations on oestrus manifestations in the red Sokoto goat

This paper reports of some observations on the type and frequency of oestrous expressions in the Red sokoto doe (RSD). There is reduced manifestation of oestrous signs in does kept without males. Presence of males and coitus also does affect the nature and frequency of a given oestrous expression. The presence of a buck combined with cloprostenol (an oestrous synchronizing agent) induction produces intense manifestation of heat in a higher percentage of RSDs.
