Meaning of "oestrual" in English

The term "oestrual" refers to the estrus or oestrus cycle, which is a recurring period of sexual receptivity and fertility in many female mammals. During this phase, female animals often exhibit behaviours indicating they are ready to mate, such as increased vocalization and restlessness. This term is specifically used in biological contexts and is significant for understanding reproductive cycles in animals, especially in veterinary and breeding sciences. The oestrual cycle is crucial for timing breeding programs and understanding animal behaviour.

Meaning of "oestrual" in French

In French, "oestrual" (oestral) similarly pertains to the "œstrus" cycle, reflecting a female mammal's phase of sexual receptivity. This biological term is used to describe the same set of behaviours and physiological changes observed in animals during their fertile period, crucial for mating. In veterinary medicine, understanding this phase is essential for breeding and animal reproductive health management. The term maintains its technical meaning across languages with slight linguistic variations in spelling and pronunciation.
