Abstract

One hundred and eleven adult female healthy Assam Local Goats belonging to organised
farm and private breeders were used to determine the best time of insemination for conception. Oestrus
was detected either by a vasectomised buck or manual observation. Goats were inseminated with frozen
semen of a proven buck. Assumption of conception by non-return basis was confirmed by actual kidding.
The highest conception rate was recorded in goats inseminated at 36 hours, followed by 42, 30 and 24
hours of onset of oestrus. The overall conception rate was higher in goats at organised farm as compared
to those with private breeder.
