Abstract
SUMMARY: So long as oestrous cycles persist, X-ray sterilized females will frequently accept the male. If insemination occurs during the first 2 days after treatment, it is frequently followed by a period of pseudopregnancy. Matings occur very rarely once the period of continuous vaginal cornification has set in.Keywords
