Entry terms

  • short-day breeder

Note

  • The sheep is generally regarded as a "short-day" breeding species for two reasons. Firstly, the annual period of reproduction begins in late summer as the daylength is becoming shorter and terminates in late winter as daylength is gradually lengthening. Secondly, under artificial photoperiodic conditions, short days can induce a period of reproduction while long days inhibit the process. (Source : INRA)
