[Effect of the light regimen on the sensitivity of the chicken reproductive system to exogenous progesterone].
In hens kept under the conditions of a short daytime (4L:18D), progesterone injections (0.25 and 10 mukg/kg) significantly decrease ovulation frequency. At longer photoperiod (14L : 10D), this effect was observed only with a dose of 10 mukg/kg, being rather weak in its intensity. It is concluded that short daytime may inhibit the activity of reproductive system increasing its sensitivity to the inhibitory effect of progesterone.
