AB  - Artificial insemination (AI) in goat is currentlylimited by the poor fertility obtained following the cervical insemination withfrozen-thawed semen. The objective of the present study was to determine theefficiency of frozen semen use in two different breeding ages at Saanen goats.The effects of synchronization and fertility rates were also examined.Ninety-eight (98) Saanen goats were divided into two groups: Group-1=49(7-months-old) and Group-2=49 (19-month- old) does. Estrus wassynchronized by impregnated intravaginal sponges (30mg; fluogestoneacetate,FGA), and i.m. administration of 50µg of cloprostenol (PGF2α) andpregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG, 500IU), at 48h beforesponge removal. Cervical fixed time AI was carried out with frozen semen43h after removal of the sponges during the breeding season. Estrus wasdetected by teaser buck. The occurrence of estrus in Group-1 and Group-2 were71.4%, 63.3%, respectively (p>0.05). Sixty-six (66) goats were inseminatedwith frozen‐thawed semen. The pregnancy rate was determined byabdominal scanning. Pregnancy rates were (Group-1: 31.4%, Group-2: 32.3%) notdiffered significantly between age groups (p>0.05). Besides, higher lambingrates were obtained in Group-1 (145.5%) than in Group-2 (90.0%) due toincreased prolificacy and reduced embryonic failure. In conclusion, Saanen goats in younger ages, startingfrom the 7 months old age could be included in the breeding programs and couldprovide several benefits such as higher percentages of synchronization successand prolificacy.

N2  - Keçide dondurulmuş sperma ile servikal sunitohumlama (ST) uygulaması düşük gebelik oranları nedeniyle halen sınırlıdır. Buçalışmanın amacı iki farklı üreme yaşındaki Saanen keçilerinde donmuş spermakullanımının etkinliğini belirlemekti. Senkronizasyon ve gebelik oranlarınınetkileri de incelenmiştir. Doksan sekiz (98) dişi Saanen keçisi iki grubaayrıldı: Grup-1 = 49 (7 aylık) ve Grup-2 = 49 (19 aylık) keçi. Östrus 11 gün süresinceintravajinal sünger (30 mg; fluogestoneacetate, FGA)ve süngerin çıkarılmasından 48 saat önce 50 ug kloprostenol (PGF2a) ve gebekısrak serum gonadotropini (PMSG, 500 IU) ile senkronize edildi. Sabit zamanlıservikal tohumlama dondurulmuş sperma ile üreme mevsiminde süngerlerininçıkarılmasından 43-45 saat sonra gerçekleştirildi. Östrus arama tekesi iletespit edildi. Grup 1 ve Grup 2'de östrus görülme oranları sırasıyla %71.4,%63.3 olarak tespit edildi (p>0.05). Altmışaltı (66) keçi dondurulmuş-çözdürülmüşspermayla tohumlandı. Gebelik abdominal ultrasonografi ile belirlendi. Gebelikoranları (Grup-1: %31.4, Grup-2: %32.3) yaş grupları arasında anlamlı birfarklılık göstermedi (p>0.05). Ayrıca, artan çoklu doğum ve azalanembriyonik kayıplar sayesinde Grup-1’de (%145.5), Grup-2’ye (%90.0) göre dahayüksek oranda yavru elde edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Saanen keçileri, 7 aylıkyaştan itibaren suni tohumlama programlarına alınabilir ve yükseksenkronizasyon başarısı ve yavru verimine gibi birçok fayda sağlayabilir.
