A successful male effect is supported on sexually active bucks, therefore the aim and the present study were to determine the effect of feeding level + testosterone (T₄) treatment, on search and consummation behaviors in bucks (mixed-breed in arid region of Mexico; 26° N) during the sexual rest. Four groups were used (n = 5 c/u; Body condition Score, 2.5 ± 0.12 points, 1–4 scale). On February 2nd, one group: NT₄ (Normal feeding + T₄) received 0.5 kg of alfalfa hay, 1.1 kg of oaten hay and 0.2 kg of molasses/animal + 25 mg of T₄ IM; NC group (Normal feeding, no T₄) received a same feeding +1 mL of NaCl (as placebo); LT₄ group (Low feeding + T₄) received 0.3 kg of alfalfa hay, 0.5 kg of oaten hay and 0.15 kg of molasses per animal + 25 mg of T₄, the LC group (Low feeding, no T₄) received a same feeding + 1 mL of NaCl. T₄ and NaCl was applied every 3rd day for 3 weeks. On April 14, the sexual behaviors (search; ano-genital sniffs, approaches, vocalizations, flehmen. Consummation; attempts to mount, mounts, mounts with a scabbard, mounts with ejaculation) were individually registered using a estrogenized female. The behaviors were compared with a χ² test (MYSTAT 12).The Body Condition Score at the end of the study was: LT₄ & LC = 1.7 ± 0.2 and: NT₄ & NC = 2.4 ± 0.13. The search behaviors showed statistical differences (P < 0.05) for all groups (NT₄, 53%; LT₄, 24%; LC, 15%; NC, 8%), Likewise, on consummation (P < 0.05) for all groups (NT₄, 54%; LT₄, 32%; LC, 10%; NC, 4%). We conclude that an appropriate feeding, improves the sexual behaviors of search and consummation in male goats treated with exogenous testosterone. These sexually active bucks would stimulate through the “male effect” the estrous behavior in mixed-bred anovulatory goats in the arid region of northern Mexico.
