During the anestrus season, the use of progesterone (P4) priming followed by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 24 h later, has shown to stimulate follicular growth and estrus behavior in goats. Hitherto, the possible effect of such estrus induction protocol has not been carried out in goats with different breeds. The study was performed during de anestrus season (May, 26° N), and considered the Alpine (n = 15; 37.4 ± 8.5 kg) and Criollo (n = 15; 39.7 ± 4.3 kg) goats; none of the goats presented corpus luteum at the onset of the treatment. Both groups received 20 mg of P4 (0.4 mL⁻¹ i.m., Progesterona, Zoetis, Mexico) plus 100 IU of hCG (0.1 mL⁻¹ i.m., Chorulon, Intervet, Mexico) 24 h later. Estrus behavior was evaluated twice a day through 10 min during 5 d with the use of 3 aproned sexually active males treated with testosterone; males were in contact with females only during the estrus detection session. Ovulation was quantified through transrectal ultrasonography scanning (Aloka 500, 7.5 MHz) every 12 h up to 120 h after hCG administration. Ovulation was considered to occur when a preovulatory follicle (= 6 mm) present in the previous day disappeared in the subsequent ultrasonographic examination. While both estrus response and ovulation were analyzed with a Fisher exact test, the estrus interval and the time to ovulation were analyzed with an independent t-test; ovulation rate between breeds was compared with the Kruskal-Wallis test. No differences (P > 0.05) in estrus response were detected between groups; goats from both breeds showed estrus behavior and ovulation (100%). No differences (P > 0.05) regarding the interval period to standing estrus (60 ± 8 and 54 ± 6 h), time to ovulation (92 ± 11 and 91 ± 10 h) and ovulation rate (1.5 ± 0.5 and 1.4 ± 0.5) were detected after hCG administration between the Alpine and Criollo does, respectively. Although the number of replicates within breed is limited, results of our study established no differences between goats upon estrus response and synchronization of ovulation. This confirms the results of Alvarado-Espino et al. (Anim Reprod Sci. 2016) that 100 IU hCG is the appropriated dosage to obtain 100% oestrus in goats.
