Abstract
  • The effects of suckling on several ovarian characteristics were studied in postpartum rabbits. Ovarian weight was found to be significantly greater in rabbits suckled for twelve days than in nonsuckled rabbits autopsied at a similar interval postpartum or in a third group autopsied at parturition. There were no significant differences between groups in ovarian content or concentration of progestogens (i.e., progesterone and 20α-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one). It was concluded that the observed increase in ovarian weight in suckled does was due to an ovarian characteristic not measured in this study. Spontaneous ovulation occurred in two out of six does in the suckled group but not in does in either of the other two experimental groups.
