This study was carried out at the Shami Goat Improvement Station at
Karahta. Twenty one week old Shami male goats were used to measure the
concentrations of testosterone and LH hormones in plasma over a period of 21
months, using the Enzyme Linked
Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA), in order to
determine the sexual puberty age. All kids were housed and managed under the
husbandry regimes applied at Karahta station.
