Background: Research about the effects of progesterone (P) and the relationship of P to oxidative stress has been achieved in ruminants but not enough in camels.
Aim: This study evaluated the effect of exogenous P hormone using CIDR for 7 days on blood concentrations of steroid hormones and oxidative status of dromedary she-camels during peak and low breeding seasons.
Materials And Methods: The present work was conducted on ten dark dromedary she-camels which were synchronized using a controlled internal drug release (CIDR) for 7 days as a reproductive management tool during peak breeding (November-April) and low breeding season (May-October).
