Forty-eight randomly selected females were treated with 5 or 10 mgkg^-1 Lucrin Depot (n = 24 per dose). Eighteen females per treatment had their reproductive activity scored at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks using two ovarian (Graafian follicle and corpus luteum status) and two reproductive tract (uterine and vaginal muscularity and vascularity) parameters that formed a reproductive activity score. Six females per treatment were paired with a male at 4 weeks. Fertility was assessed between 8 and 16 weeks by pouch check, and thereafter by dissection. The effects of the 5 and 10 mgkg^-1 doses were statistically equivalent. Females showed suppression at 4-8 weeks, an increase in reproductive activity at 8-12 weeks and all were cycling normally at 16 weeks. Six pouch young were born at 12 weeks to two females treated with the 5 mgkg^-1 dose. Nine embryos were recovered at 16 weeks from two females treated with the 10 mgkg^-1 dose. In conclusion, Lucrin Depot can suppress breeding, and fertile mating can occur in subsequent cycles in the dunnart. There is potential for Lucrin Depot to be used as an assisted breeding tool, but it may need to be combined with ovarian stimulation treatment to achieve practical levels of synchronisation in the fat-tailed dunnart.]]> Thu 27 Feb 2020 13:33:34 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9607 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:38 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19213 0.05). Increases observed in serum cortisol concentrations during EEJ were less (P<0.05) than those observed after an adrenalcorticotropic hormone challenge and diurnal variation suggested that cortisol concentrations are greater during the day than at night (P<0.05). This information can be used to provide range values for the future examination of basic endocrine responses and the adrenal-pituitary axis of this species. This study also demonstrated that spermatozoa-rich devil electroejaculates are more difficult to obtain and poorer in quality than those of other marsupials.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:54:58 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29347 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:18 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41766 Fri 12 Aug 2022 11:49:19 AEST ]]>
