abstract = {As the global population increases, demand for animal products will result in increased livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. One of the strategies for reducing this impact would be the improvement of indigenous livestock reproductive efficiency that are hardy and well adapted to harsh environmental regions. The use of reproductive technologies increases efficiency of animals necessary for profitable production. This study evaluated the effects of age and body condition score on the response and duration of oestrus in synchronized Bapedi ewes, conserved ex-situ in vivo and in situ. Study ethics procedures were approved by the Agricultural Research Council Irene animal ethics committee. Ninety-one Bapedi ewes (},
