A b s t r a c t:
The objective of this study was to determine how the social competition for an oestrous ewe affects the
sexual behaviour and the endocrine response in two groups of rams, one reared by their mothers and
another artificially reared. Thus, we compared the sexual behaviour and testosterone and cortisol
changes in each group of rams in competitive and non-competitive tests, both during the first and second
breeding seasons. Two groups of rams were: 1) artificially reared lambs, separated from their dams 24
e36 h after birth (Week 0) and artificially fed with sheep milk until 10 weeks of age (group AR, n ¼ 14);
and 2) lambs reared by their dams until 10 weeks of age (group DR, n ¼ 13). Rams were subjected to noncompetitive
and competitive tests for an oestrous ewe during their first and second breeding seasons,
when they were 8 and 20 months old, respectively. Sexual behaviours toward an oestrous ewe were
recorded during 20 min and the testosterone and cortisol concentrations were determined in serum
samples collected immediately before the test, and 20, 40 and 60 min after it. During the first breeding
season, the number of flehmen decreased in DR rams, and the number of flehmen and ano-genital
sniffings also decreased in DR rams, but the frequency of some copulatory behaviours increased (matings
and ejaculation/total mounts in DR rams, and total mounts in AR rams) in competitive tests. During
the second breeding season, competition caused a decrease in the number of all the recorded behaviours
(courtship and copulation) with the exception of flehmen in AR rams; however, in DR rams only the
number of the copulatory behaviours decreased under competition. Competition did not affect the
endocrine response during the first breeding season. During the second breeding season, while testosterone
concentrations were greater in non-competitive than in competitive tests at 60 min (P ¼ 0.0008)
in AR rams, in DR rams it tended to be greater (P ¼ 0.09). Competition did not affect cortisol concentrations
in any group or season, but in all tests the concentrations increased at the end of the test
(P < 0.05). In conclusion, the lack of the mother during rearing negatively affected the sexual motivation
and the testosterone response of rams to oestrous ewes in competitive tests, effects that were more
evident when adults. Neither the absence of the mother during rearing nor competition for oestrous
ewes affected the stress response (evidenced by increase in cortisol concentration) in rams during both
seasons. MenosA b s t r a c t:

The present study was conducted to investigate whether white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in grazed swards in Uruguay can produce and shed sufficient seed, and whether sufficient seedlings can develop and survive, to make an important contribution to the long-term persistence of the species. Five sites, on which survival of white clover had been better than is usual in Uruguay, were studied in 1995–97. The sites had been sown with white clover 11–15 years previously and were managed mainly by cattle grazing. The number of white clover inflorescences/m2 was at least 18 at nearly half the counts in the study and the number of viable seeds in the top 5 cm of soil was at least 1500 at half the counts. The results for both the above variables suggest that all five sites had a supply of seed greater than a commercial seed rate at some times of the year. However, the number of seedlings/m2 was >100, a possible target in these conditions, at only one fifth of the counts, and the proportion of seedlings that
survived from one recording date to the next (a period of 4–5 weeks) varied from >0.7 to zero. It seems, therefore, that, in these conditions, the failure of seeds to convert to established plants is likely to be a greater constraint than the production and shedding of seeds. There was considerable variability with time, and between and within sites at each stage of the reproductive cycle. On one site, competition from Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) greatly reduced the number of white clover
seedlings/m2. Overall, the results suggest that white clover in grazed swards in Uruguay can produce and shed sufficient seed, and that sufficient seedlings can develop and survive, to make a significant contribution to the long-term persistence of the species. However, each year there is a risk of seedlings being killed in dry, hot weather.
