Oestrus synchronisation with a controlled internal drug release (CIDR)-based protocol and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) was conducted in 130 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus texanus) during three reproductive seasons (2007\u20132009; 271 services) in a game-hunting ranch in a hot\u2013arid environment (26\u00b04' N, 101\u00b025' W). Ninety additional non-treated does were exposed to bucks for natural mating. Fawning rate did not differ between AI methods (40.0 vs 45.0% for transcervical and laparoscopic AI, respectively). Overall fawning rate (proportion of all does fawning after FTAI and a subsequent period of buck exposure) did not differ between transcervical (89.5%), laparoscopic (80.3%) or natural (88.9%) insemination. Litter size per fawning doe was higher (P &amp;lt; 0.05) in naturally-served does (1.65 \u00b1 0.48) than in transcervically-inseminated does (1.40 \u00b1 0.51) or in laparoscopically-inseminated does (1.48 \u00b1 0.50). The main conclusion was that no enhancement of fawning rate or litter size occurred as a result of intrauterine deposition of semen by laparoscopy compared with the transcervical insemination technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/rd12055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,8]],"date-time":"2013-05-08T18:20:04Z","timestamp":1368037204000},"page":"581-586","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Factors affecting reproductive performance of white-tailed deer subjected to fixed-time artificial insemination or natural mating"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Miguel","family":"Mellado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AAutonomous Agrarian University Antonio Narro, Department of Animal Nutrition, Saltillo 25315, Mexico."},{"name":"DCorresponding author.
