PROFIL HORMON ESTROGEN DAN PROGESTERON PADA SIKLUS BERAHI KAMBING LOKAL (Estrogen and Progesterone Profile in Aceh Local Goat Estrous Cycle )

Abstract

The aim of this research was to find out the normal estrogen and progesterone profile in local goat estrous cycle.  Five female Aceh local goats which the criteria clinically in good condition, have been giving birth before, 1.5-3.0 years old, and showed minimal twice regularly estrous cycle.
