Goats in control group were managed under the breeder’s conditions from mating to weaning after birth. Prostaglandin F2-alpha was primed twice with interval of 11-days (on August 11 and August 22, 2017) at 12:00 pm. Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG, 500 IU) was injected at 24, 18, 12, 6 and 0-hours prior to the injection of PGF <sub>2α </sub> to the groups. After the second PGF <sub>2α </sub> administration, goats in heat were detected by a teaser buck and mated in 12 and 24-hours. The highest twinning rate was obtained in the 12-hour group.}, number={1}, publisher={Zootekni Federasyonu (ZF)}, organization={Mustafa Kemal University Coordinatorship of Scientific Research Projects}
