The response of the pituitary-testicular axis to LH-RH infusion was investigated in rams from birth to sexual maturity. During early postnatal life ram lambs were responsive to LH-RH stimulation and heightened pituitary sensitivity was observed in rams aged 2-3 months. It is suggested that a change in sensitivity of the pituitary-testicular axis occurs at this time and perhaps represents the time of initiation of the pubertal process.
