It has long been known that natural or synthetic oxytocin, whether it be endogenous or exogenous, causes a change in the motility pattern of the female genital tract and the let-down of milk in laboratory and farm animals. The important functions in animal reproduction such as sperm transport in the female tract, ovum transportation and phenomena involved in pregnancy and parturition, are believed to be associated and affected by the motility of the female genital tract. It is therefore clear that in order to have a better understanding, hence subsequent control of these factors, a more detailed knowledge of the nature of spontaneous and hormone-induced patterns of genital tract motility is essential.
