摘要: The present study was conducted to investigate the attributes of ram sexual behaviour under different social conditions. Six intact rams and eight overiectomized ewes were used in this experiment. Ewes artificially brought into oestrus. All mating traits recorded every 10 sec during a 1 h session five conditions viz., exposed single oestrus ewe, ewe audience ram, multiple ewes, with competitor ram. Mean intensity activities compared. Either vocalization or leg kicking found be predominant teasing activity all Sniffing differed significantly (p<0.05) between Vocalization, kicking, did not differ Mounts/h condition higher from other Ejaculations/h for experimental when comparison Mounts/ejaculation low four
