This research project investigates how melatonin influences seasonal reproduction in ewes by increasing triiodothyronine levels in the hypothalamus. It aims to identify target genes affected by this mechanism to enable out-of-season lambing without hormonal treatments, ultimately enhancing breeding strategies.
Most mammals living at temperate latitudes exhibit seasonal reproduction, which is synchronized by photoperiod through the central action of melatonin.
In the ewe this translates into the initiation of the breeding season as day-length shortens while the anestrus season is triggered by the photoperiod lengthening, which occurs at the end of winter.
We recently characterized a complex pathway by which melatonin acts in the rostral part of the pituitary, known as the pars tuberalis, to yield a loc…
