* Pheromonal substances in the urine act as a stimulus to enhance the onset of puberty.
* Females reaching puberty in the presence of a male (producing the pheromones) have a greater opportunity of becoming pregnant.
* Pubertal onset cannot be accelerated using pheromones in animals that have not achieved the appropriate metabolic body size to trigger hypothalamic responsiveness to Oestradiol (oestrogen).
