Abstract

The research was conducted to study the estrus synchronization and artificial
insemination in Black Bengal goats under two feeding regimes in semi-intensive system. For estrus synchronization, the palpation of udder of does and the buck effect were studied. It was observed that the palpation method showed higher estrus rate than the buck effect. Goats were artificially inseminated by using vaginal speculum and locally developed inseminating device and it was found that about 50% goats conceived. The conception rate of artificial insemination was lower than the natural mating for both groups. It was observed that both, palpation and buck effect methods were lower than the hormonal method for estrus behaviour. However, palpation and buck effect methods are mainly managemental and are less costly than the hormonal method.
