Webster, J.R. (1986) Advancing the breeding season of yearling red deer hinds with melatonin

The aim of this trial was to evaluate the efficiency of melatonin feeding and melatonin implants to advance seasonal reproductive activity. It suggests that both daily melatonin feeding and melatonin implants are capable of advancing teh breeding season of yearling red deer hinds with both methods appearing reliable once the problem of feed acceptance is overcome
