Genetic Upgradation of Indigenous Does Through Oestrus Synchronization and Artificial Insemination with Cyprus Shami Buck Semen

Abstract
The present study aimed at genetic up gradation of indigenous does with Cyprus Shami buck through oestrus synchronization and artificial insemination. The study was undertaken in Tellicherry goats and local goats under uniform management and feeding condition. The 30 to 45 days postpartum 53 numbers of Tellicherry and 36 numbers of local indigenous does were selected in this study. Does were synchronized with progesterone intra vaginal sponge, PMSG and PGF2α combination. Out of 53 tellicherry does were inseminated, five goats were pregnant, three does delivered twins and two does delivered single kid. Out 36 local goats only two goats were pregnant. The present study concluded that progesterone containing intra vaginal sponges, PGF2α and PMSG combination can be used for effective synchronization of estrus programme in goats and tellicherry does were inseminated with Cyprus Shami buck semen giving higher growth rate than local does.
