"El presente estudio se realizó con la finalidad de determinar si los machos sin experiencia sexual inducidos a un intenso comportamiento sexual son capaces de estimular la actividad reproductiva de las cabras anovulatorias sometidas al efecto macho. Cinco machos cabríos con experiencia sexual y cinco machos sin experiencia sexual, se sometieron a 2.5 meses de días largos para estimular su comportamiento sexual durante el periodo de reposo. Un grupo de hembras multíparas (n=50) se expuso a 5 machos sin experiencia sexual y el otro grupo (n=50) se expuso a 5 machos con experiencia sexual. El comportamiento sexual (olfateos anogenitales, aproximaciones, flehmen, intentos de monta, montas con penetración, montas sin penetración y automarcajes) en los machos se registró durante 1 h los primeros 3 días de contacto con las hembras. El porcentaje de hembras que ovularon, la tasa ovulatoria y la tasa de gestación se determinó mediante ultrasonografía. Los machos con experiencia sexual realizaron más olfateos anogenitales, aproximaciones laterales, montas sin penetración y automarcajes que los machos sin experiencia sexual (P<0.001). Los intentos de monta (P=0.155), las montas con penetración (P=0.274) y los flehmen (P=0.544) no difirió en ambos grupos de machos. El porcentaje de hembras que ovularon, la tasa ovulatoria y la tasa de gestación no difirió entre las hembras expuestas a los machos con experiencia sexual y sin experiencia sexual (P=1.0; P=0.154; P=1.0, respectivamente). Estos resultados demuestran que los machos sin experiencia sexual, sexualmente activos al ser sometidos a días largos, estimulan la actividad reproductiva de las cabras anovulatorias en la misma medida que los machos con experiencia sexual.""This study was conducted to determine whether sexually inexperienced male goats rendered sexually active by photoperiodic treatment stimulate the reproductive activity of anestrous female goats subjected to the male effect. Five male goats sexually experienced and five male goats inexperienced, were submitted to 2.5 months of artificial long days to stimulate their sexual activity viii during the non-breeding season. One group of multiparous females (n=50) was exposed to sexually inexperienced males and another group (n=50) was exposed to sexually experienced males. The sexual behavior of males (anogenital sniffing, nudging, flehmen, mounting attempts, mounting with penetration, mounting without it and self-urination) was registered by 1 h during the first 3 days of contact with does. The female goats that ovulated, the ovulatory rates and the pregnancy rate were detected by ultrasonography. The sexual behaviors of the sexually experienced males was greater (ano-genital sniffing, nudging, mount without penetration and self-urination; P<0.001) than in those inexperienced males. The mount attempts (P=0.155), mount with penetration (P=0.274) and flehmen (P=0.544) were not different between both groups. The percentage of females that ovulate, the ovulatory rate and pregnancy rate, did not differ significantly (P=1.0; P=0.154; P=1.0, respectively) between those interacting with sexually experienced and inexperienced males. This results show that sexually active inexperienced males subjected to long days stimulate the reproductive activity of anestrous goats exposed to the male effect in similar way that the sexually experienced males."
