“…Mean inter-and intraassay coefficients of variation were 6.6% and 7.5%. Melatonin concentrations were determined in a single assay as described by Ronayne et al [24]. Sensitivity of the assay, as defined as 95% binding, was 18 pg/ ml.…”

“…Ce dŽmarrage plus prŽcoce est identique ĉ elui de brebis placŽes en jours courts, Žgalement ˆ partir du 18 juin, qui, elles, manifestent une avance de 42 jours par rapport aux tŽmoins (English et al 1986). Beaucoup dÕautres auteurs ont rapportŽ une telle efficacitŽ pour le dŽclenchement prŽcoce de lÕactivitŽ sexuelle chez la brebis et notamment Kennaway et al (1982), Nett et Niswender (1982), Arendt et al (1983), Nowak et Rodway (1985), Poulton et al (1987), Mori et al (1987), Stellflug et al (1988), Ronayne et al (1989), Staples et al (1991).…”

“…Carlson (2000) found that there was an additive effect of melatonin implants and progesterone, which substantially increased pregnancy rates in anestrous ewes compared to non-treated controls. Ronayne et al (1989) found that the first time at which P 4 concentrations were greater (p < 0.01) in ewes implanted with 700 mg melatonin implants than in control ewes occurred 66 days after implantation. Williams and Helliwell (1993) also found that a period of 60 days was required after implantation before beneficial effects of treatment with melatonin on reproductive performance in anestrous ewes was observed.…”

“…Although treatment with melatonin did affect the percentage of dry ewes with high P 4 , some evidence indicates that an even greater response could be observed after a longer duration of time following melatonin implantation. For example, Ronayne et al (1989) found that the first time at which P 4 concentrations in implanted ewes were higher (p < 0.01) than in control ewes occurred 66 days after implantation. However, this delayed response to melatonin was observed in Cheviot and Suffolk ewes, both of which are known for their short breeding seasons and decreased ability to respond to out-ofseason breeding approaches.…”
