Goats are primarily raised in marginal, arid, and semi-arid production systems exhibit a seasonal reproductive pattern. Extending their season would enhance food security improve the economic viability of goat production. Therefore, objective this study was to assess effects SeVE supplementation during anestrus on ovarian activity anestrous goats subjected an estrus synchronization protocol. The response variables included induction (EI), ovulatory rate (OR), corpus luteum diameter (CLD), left right ovary diameters (LOD ROD), embryo implantation (EMBRYO), pregnancy rates (PREG). Adult, anestrous, crossbred dairy (n = 32) from northern Mexico (i.e., Comarca Lagunera, 26° N) were randomly assigned two homogeneous groups based age, live weight (LW), body condition score (BCS): (1) supplemented group (SeVE; n 16), received 5 mg selenium plus 350 IU vitamin E, (2) control (CONT; physiological saline. Estrus induced using combination progesterone (P4, 20 mg), equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG, 400 IU), exposure male effect. While no differences (p > 0.05) observed between for LW BCS, EI, OR, EMBRYO, PREG higher < than CONT group. No CLD, LOD, or ROD. Thus, SeVE-targeted improved outcomes without affecting structure size non-dimensional action), suggesting that precision strategy certainly enhances efficiency. This possibly related selenium-induced increases P4 synthesis, antioxidant follicular development correlate with endometrial development, conceptus survival, growth, maintenance. Such improvements could contribute sustainability marginal regions Mexico, supporting increasing returns producers families.

Goat production in the dry forest of northern Peru is essential for rural livelihoods but remains poorly characterized regarding its productivity and sustainability. This study used multivariate techniques-a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), principal component (PCA), factor mixed data (FAMD), hierarchical cluster (HCA)-to analyze from 284 producers Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque. Surveys captured 48 variables (41 qualitative, seven quantitative) on productivity, socioeconomics, management. The MCA explained 22.07% variability two dimensions, while PCA accounted 63.9%, focusing diversification. FAMD integrated these variables, explaining 51.12% across five emphasizing socioeconomic management differences. HCA identified three clusters: 1 featured intensive systems with advanced commercial focus, 2 included extensive limited by water scarcity, 3 reflected semi-intensive irrigation diversified production. These findings provide a detailed understanding goat Peru, identifying opportunities to improve resource use tailor strategies enhance proved effective capturing complexity systems, supporting improving areas.
