The objective of this study was to evaluate two protocols of estrous synchronization in non-lactating Toggenburg goats. Nineteen goats were allocated, according to body condition score and weight, into two groups (A and B) and evaluated utilizing two treatments (T1 and T2). Animals in the T1 and T2...
