The control of the reproduction activity plays an essential role in modern animal production systems allowing higher management flexibility and profitability. Short-term progestagens treatments are becoming increasingly popular. Nevertheless the best moment to administrate Prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) is still in debate. The current study aims to assess the reproductive effects of PGF2a injected at the onset or the end of a short-term progestagen treatment in Portuguese Serrana goats.
