The effects of pharmacological reduction of the high plasma prolactin concentration typical of seasonal anoestrus in sheep were assessed with respect to positive feedback of oestrogen on LH release, ovulation, and progesterone secretion. Treatment of 16 Scottish Blackface ewes with 1 mg bromocriptine, i.m. twice daily for 12 days, reduced prolactin concentrations in peripheral plasma from 64 +/- 10 ng/ml before treatment to &lt; 4 ng/ml. This treatment had no effect on the proportion of ewes discharging LH and FSH in response to 12.5 microgram oestradiol benzoate (3/8 before compared with 5/16 during treatment) or the proportion of ewes ovulating in response to oestrogen treatment. Plasma progesterone concentrations remained low even in ovulating ewes. It is concluded that treatment with bromocriptine alone is unlikely to restore oestrous cycles to ewes in seasonal anoestrus.
