prolactin at 10 and 20 ng / ml / of a bird / 3 days. testicular volume, prolactin and thyroxin
in plasma were estimated at the end of the experiment, the results show that, under a long
photoperiod (18L: 6D), sexual activity lasts 6 weeks, whereas that treatment with prolactin,
inhibits the growth of testes, and therefore reproduction, these results suggest that, unlike
