Estacionalidad reproductiva en animales domésticos
Some domestic and wild animals have seasonal reproduction performance due to photoperiod. This seasonality is observed in geographic locations where large differences between hours of light during the year are present and occurs as an adaptation to annual changes in the habitat. Small ruminants have sexual activity during fall and winter ceasing during spring and summer. In the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) the queen has ovarian activity during the long days of spring and summer (> 12 h light) ceasing during short days of fall and winter. However, seasonality in the male has been recently defined. The aim of this study was to present a review about natural and artificial photoperiod changes over reproductive activity in different species with special emphasis in the domestic cat.
