The link between nutrition and reproduction in West African Dwarf goats was determined with nutritional flushing at breeding. The effects of two levels of supplement feed providing 60% and 20%, respectively, of the estimated daily dry matter requirement of goats on the physical body measurements, metabolic and gonadotropin status of the does were studied. The parameters measured included body condition score (BCS), body weight, total protein, glucose, calcium, insulin, gonadotropins, fertility rate and prolificacy. In addition, the reproductive implications of interactions among these...
