Even within species significant variability can be observed, thus cats may undergo an estrous cycle of 3 to 7 weeks. [15] Domestication can affect estrous cycles due to changes in the environment. For most species, vaginal smear cytology may be used in order to identify estrous cycle phases and durations. [16]
There is a positive relationship between mass at birth and length of gestation in eutherian mammals. [31] Larger mammals are more likely to produce a well-developed neonate than small mammals. Large mammals develop at an absolute slower rate compared to small mammals.
The second breeding phase of the rut takes place three to four weeks after the first breeding phase. This is due to younger cows coming into estrus, as well as older cows that were not bred on their first estrus cycle coming back into estrus. Herd bulls are less aggressive towards satellite bulls at this phase in the rut due to exhaustion. [13]
The clinical signs associated with Taylorella equigenitalis infections in mares include abnormally cloudy vaginal or cervical discharge, vulvar inflammation, increased size and hardness of the ovaries and uterus upon rectal palpation, as well as abnormalities in the length and/or stages of the mare's estrous cycle.

Lordosis behavior (/ l ɔːr ˈ d oʊ s ɪ s / [1]), also known as mammalian lordosis (Greek lordōsis, from lordos "bent backward" [1]) or presenting, is the naturally occurring body posture for sexual receptivity to copulation present in females of most mammals including rodents, elephants, cats, and humans.

In order to induce estrus, a variety of techniques have been tried in recent years, involving both more natural, and more hormonal based methods. [28] Different ways of injecting or feeding hormones to livestock are costly, and have variable success rates. [29] Average length (days) of estrus and estrous cycles: [29]
