Pro œstrus refers to the period of heightened sexual receptivity in female mammals, preceding ovulation and characterized by distinct physiological and behavioral changes. Understanding this phase is crucial in reproductive biology, veterinary medicine, and animal science, impacting breeding management, fertility studies, and the investigation of hormonal cycles. Research into pro œstrus encompasses areas like estrous synchronization, the role of pheromones, neuroendocrine control of reproductive behavior, and the impact of environmental factors on cyclicity. Investigations often focus on follicular development, luteinizing hormone surges, and the expression of estrus behaviors – including vocalizations, posture, and attraction to males. Comparative studies across species, examining variations in pro œstrus duration and intensity, contribute significantly to our broader understanding of mammalian reproduction and evolutionary adaptations. Related concepts include estrus, diœstrus, metœstrus, anestrus, ovarian cycle, and reproductive endocrinology.
