How a change in photoperiod results in loss of cyclicity

Reference no: EM13527893

Be able to explain how a change in photoperiod results in loss of cyclicity in seasonal breeder animals at the end of the breeding season. (i.e., how does the responsiveness and sensitivity of the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovary change and what triggers this)
