[ Method] The concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）, luteinizing hor- mone （ LH）, inhibin （ INH）, estradiol （ E2 ） and progesterone （ P4 ） were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） in off season for estrue. The changes of follicles in the estrous cycle were examined using B-mode ultrasonography. [ Result] In off season for estrus of female swamp buffalo from Guangxi region, the blood concentration of E2 and P4 varied fluctuantly. The concentration of E2 had two peaks, respec- tively 3 d before ovulation and after 13 d post ovulation. The concentration of P4 increased slowly from the first day after ovulation, increased rapidly from 5 to 13 d, peaked on Day 16 and decreased to the baseline 3 d before ovulation. The concentrations of FSH, LH and INH roached a peak re- spectively after 10 d post ovulation, 2 d before ovulation, and after 4 d post ovulation. The changes of the hormones had correlations. The concen- trations of FSH, LH and INH had highly significant correlations with each other, while the concentration of INH had highly significant correlations with that of E2 or P4- The concentration of E2 also had a highly significant correlation with that of P4- [ Conclusionl The study can guide the breeding of swamp buffalo from Guanqxi reqion and also help to improve their roproduction performance.展开更多
