24 female halfbred (BT x BB) kids of about 12 weeks of age were used for induction of puberty by administration of follicular fluid (FF).
The study was conducted in three groups, A (3ml FF), B ( 1ml FF) and C (untreated control).
Kids were exposed to teaser buck daily both morning and evening throughout the period of experiment for detection of first estrus which was
taken as indicator for attainment of puberty. Kids
treated with 1 ml ( 165.50±3.50 days) and 3ml ( 160.66±2.72 days) follicular fluid attained pubety significantly earlier than those of untreated
control (201.50±0.50).
