Document Summary
Tuesday october 10, 2017/thursday october 12, 2017/tuesday october 17, 2017. Softening of pelvic sres, shift in pelvis. Non-functional endocrine and repro state to gamete and hormone production. Influenced by age and weight - species dependent. Pigs - easier to use age when they are same size at maturity. Beef cattle - mature at different weights, when they reach 65% mature weight they will most likely be able to breed. Breeds of dogs - small breed dog will reach maturity/puberty much sooner than a larger breed dog (may be 11-12 mo. ) Endocrinology: a coordinated cascade of hormonal events. Gnrh - gonadotropin releasing hormone - has to do with the gonads. Lh - luteinizing hormone - to burst - goes to ovaries and causes follicles to burst. Follicle bursting releases egg and this is ovulation. Ovary is the target organ of lh hormone. If testes receive lh = testosterone production.
