Abstract:
Sheep are a short-day breeder and a seasonally polyestrous species, and they stop cycling when the length of the day increases in the summer. Photoperiod, the primary environmental element responsible for the seasonality of reproduction, has a significant impact on sexual behavior in sheep. Seasonality is also influenced by other factors like as temperature, nutrition, and neuroendocrine control.
