Occurrence of hydrometra in dairy goats after estrous induction by either light program or hormonal protocol.

Abstract

This study aimed to report the occurrence of hydrometra in different herds using multi-hormonal protocol (Herd 1) or light program (Herd 2). Saanen does, with ages ranging from eight months to nine years old from two different herds, both located in the Southeast region of Brazil, were used. Although hydrometra was significantly associated with estrous induction in Herd 1, this disease is more like to be associated with the fact of parturition during the onset of natural breeding season rather than estrous induction method.
