* Folicular waves generally occur every 10-12 days, but there is variation between individual animals.
* Folicular waves generally occur every 10-12 days, but there is variation between individual animals.
* As [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicles]] mature, they produce Oestrogen, which is responsible for receptivity behaviour.
* As [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicles]] mature, they produce Oestrogen, which is responsible for receptivity behaviour.
* Once [[Ovulation - Anatomy & Physiology|ovulation]] has occured,[[Corpus_Luteum_Formation_-_Anatomy_&_Physiology|luteinization]] occurs with the formation of a [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_- Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]].
* Once [[Ovulation - Anatomy & Physiology|ovulation]] has occured,[[Corpus_Luteum_Formation_-_Anatomy_&_Physiology|luteinization]] occurs with the formation of a [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]].
* [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_- Anatomy & Physiology|Corpus luteum]] produces progesterone.
* [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|Corpus luteum]] produces progesterone.
* Progesterone inhibits further [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicular development]] and triggers rejection behaviour.
* Progesterone inhibits further [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicular development]] and triggers rejection behaviour.
* If there is no pregnancy, [[The_Ovary_-_Corpus_Luteum_Regression- Anatomy & Physiology|luteolysis]] occurs and the [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_- Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]] is broken down. This allows a new [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicle]] to develop.
* If there is no pregnancy, [[The_Ovary_-_Corpus_Luteum_Regression- Anatomy & Physiology|luteolysis]] occurs and the [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]] is broken down. This allows a new [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicle]] to develop.
* The overlapping nature of follicular waves and the fact that the female is receptive even if the [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicle]] is not mature enough to [[Ovulation - Anatomy & Physiology|ovulate]] makes it difficult to determine from behaviour when the optimum time for mating is.
