AB  - A new field of research in reproductive biology was heralded by the discovery of
melatonin in 1958. The concentration of melatonin follows light-dark cycles with
significantly higher concentrations during darkness. The authors present the importance
of the melatonin protein hormone by focusing on the reproductive processes in
domestic sheep. In their literature review, they report that sheep melatonin levels show
daily and seasonal rhythms. In sheep as a seasonal breeder and short-day animal species,
seasonal increases in melatonin production stimulate sexual activity. The authors
describe innovative possibilities for regulating melatonin levels in sheep production.
The use of exogenous melatonin brings forward the expression of the sexual cycle. It
increases the fertility rate, the number of lambs born, and the chances of survival of
twin lambs. Melatonin is a neuroprotection compound against cerebral hypoxia and the
development of inflammatory processes in the growing foetus and the newborn lamb.
