Seasonal variations in oestradiol-17 beta and luteinizing hormone in the blood of buffalo cows (Bubalus bubalis).
Changes in the plasma concentrations of oestradiol-17 beta and LH were measured in six buffaloes exhibiting regular oestrous cycles for one calendar year. Significantly higher concentrations of oestradiol-17 beta and LH were observed around oestrus during the cooler months than during the hotter months whereas no significant fluctuations were observed in the basal levels of either hormone throughout the year.
