Abstract

Objective: To measure the seasonal effect on endocrinological profiles and sex behavioural profiles during rainy and dry summer seasons in male Andaman local goat in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Methods: Ten adult male Andaman local goats were selected from the goat breeding farm, ICAR-Central Island Agricultural Research Institute, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Endocrinological profiles such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), cortisol and prolactin were analysed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Sex behavioural profiles such as libido score, mating ability score and sex behavioural score were measured during rainy and dry summer seasons in male Andaman local goat. Results: Endocrinological profiles as well as sex behavioural profiles differed significantly between rainy season and dry summer season (P<0.05). The levels of FSH, LH, testosterone, TSH, T3, and T4 were significantly higher in rainy season than in dry summer season whereas cortisol and prolactin were significantly higher in dry summer season than in rainy season (P<0.05). The ratio of T3:T4 was significantly higher in rainy season than in dry summer season. Similarly, libido score, mating ability score and sex behavioural score were significantly higher in rainy season than in dry summer season (P<0.05). Conclusions: Rainy season has significantly higher beneficial effects than summer season on reproduction and artificial breeding programmes in semi-intensive management of goat under the tropical humid island ecosystem in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

热带湿润岛屿生态系统下，季节调节本地公山羊的内分泌特征和性行为特征

目的：测量印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛雄性安达曼当地山羊在雨季和旱季对内分泌和性行为特征的季节影响。方法：从印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛布莱尔港ICAR中央岛农业研究所山羊饲养场选出10只成年雄性安达曼当地山羊。用酶联免疫吸附测定试剂盒分析了促卵泡激素（FSH）、黄体生成素（LH）、睾酮、促甲状腺激素（TSH）、三碘甲状腺原氨酸（T3）、甲状腺素（T4）、皮质醇和泌乳素等内分泌特征。在夏季雨季和旱季，对雄性安达曼当地山羊的性行为特征进行了测量，如性欲得分、交配能力得分和性行为得分。结果：雨季和旱季的内分泌及性行为特征差异显著（P＜0.05），T3、T4比值雨季显著高于旱季（P＜0.05）。类似地，性欲评分，结论：在安达曼和尼科巴群岛热带湿润岛屿生态系统下，雨季对山羊繁殖和人工饲养方案的有利影响显著高于夏季。
