Cont^gr: Control healthy goat. Oxytet^gr: Oxytetracycline treated goat. Oxytet-Oxyto^gr: Oxytetracycline-oxytocin treated goat. Oxytet-GnRH^gr: Oxytetracycline-GnRH treated goat. ^AMeans within the same row with different superscript capital letters between different sampling days either in Cont^gr, Oxytet^gr, Oxytet-Oxyto^gr or Oxytet-GnRH^gr, were significantly different. ^aMeans within the same row (At day 0) with different superscript small letters between Cont^gr, Oxytet^gr, Oxytet-Oxyto^gr and Oxytet-GnRH^gr, were significantly different. ¹Means within the same row (At day 5) with different superscript numbers between Cont^gr, Oxytet^gr, Oxytet-Oxyto^gr and Oxytet-GnRH^gr, were significantly different. ^¶Means within the same row (At day 7) with different superscript symbols between Cont^gr, Oxytet^gr, Oxytet-Oxyto^gr and Oxytet-GnRH^gr, were significantly different.
