Studies were conducted to determine the effects of feeding regimens on growth and carcass quality Creole goat, a genotype indigenous Caribbean. Forty kids weighing 9.0 +/- 1.2 kg BW reared indoors after weaning. Four supplement amounts compared (10 per treatment): G0 group received basal diet (tropical forage, 8.8 MJ ME 108 g CP/kg DM) without concentrate, whereas G100, G200, G300 groups offered 130, 230, 310 g/d concentrate (13.6 209 DM), respectively, in addition diet. The slaughtered...
This study evaluated the effects of semen extension and storage on forward progressive motility % (FPM%) in agouti semen. Three extenders were used; sterilized whole cow's milk (UHT Milk), unpasteurized (CW) pasteurized coconut water (PCW), diluted to 50, 100, 150, 200 × 10(6) spermatozoa/ml. Experiment 1: ejaculates extended for liquid at 5(∘)C every day 5 days determine FPM% its rate deterioration. 2: 150 as frozen pellets nitrogen -195(∘)C, thawed 30(∘) 70(∘)C 20 50 seconds after Samples...
The agouti is a Neotropical rodent which mainly utilized for its meat in rural communities. Recently, captive rearing of these animals by wildlife farmers have increased the Neotropics. This short communication consists observation feeding behaviour reared agoutis at University West Indies Field Station Trinidad and Tobago. first time Tobago that consumption omnivorous been documented literature. chicken (Gallus domesticus) eggs, dead chickens, brown dove (Zenaida macroura) was noted....
Summary This study was a follow up to the on gross anatomy of male agouti ( Dasyprocta leporina ) reproductive system. The seminal vesicles are lobulated structures. mean diameter large lumen is 883.6 ± 76.83 μm. mucosa (24.1 0.92 μm), which lined by pseudo‐stratified columnar epithelium thrown into folds, often branch. lamina muscularis thin and made loose connective tissue containing blood vessels. leaf‐like coagulating glands folded. 488.3 41.96 contains tubuloalveolar glands, have length...
Summary The literature available on the agouti ( Dasyprocta leporina ) is very limited. a Neotropical rodent found in Trinidad and Tobago, Central South America. This study focuses one of many unexplored areas relating to species, male reproductive system. results showed that mean testicular length, diameter weight was 3.67 ± 0.12 cm, 1.67 0.04 cm 5.03 0.52 g respectively. paired testes epididymis were contact with abdominal muscles within scrotal pouches, which are evaginations caudoventral...
Plasma concentration of progesterone and 17β-estradiol black-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha) during the estrous cycle. The is a game animal that have been raised in captivity for conservation sustainability purposes. However, management wild animals an intensive breeding system requires assertive knowledge its reproductive parameters, one most important features production improvement. Besides, little information available regarding changes hormone profiles agouti. objective this...
Gross and morphometric studies were undertaken on 10 digestive tracts of the agouti(Dasyprocta leporina). The most prominent features included a long small intestine which had mean length 700.16±124 cm formed 49.1±3.9 % total weight entire tract. large sacculated caecum 16.8±4.11% colon rectum 117.0±2.5 18.788±2.11 Large anal sac glands openings into anus. histology different components tract was done male agouti results suggested that has remarkable proliferation villi;the epithelium is...
The objective of this research was to analyze female agouti puberty. We did not observe the onset puberty when females were raised without males. When an adult male put together with other adults and no cycling females, estrous cycle observed after 10 60 days. young a male, reached at 9 months. concluded that influences in dominant female, apparently, inhibits or delays group. suggest further studies be made concerning social control reproduction these animal.
The reproductive system of the male agouti is not well documented. This study describes specific anatomical features free part penis occurring during penile erection in agouti. Electro-ejaculation was used to induce three agoutis that had previously produced offspring. Results proved there were four stages process. Stage 1 involved protrusion from preputial orifice. lateral cartilages then spread (stage 2). During stage 3, blooming head glans (penile flower) and eversion intromittent sac....
Dystocia is a complication that occurs at parturition either due to foetal or maternal factors. This condition has been well studies in domesticated species. However, there very little information on dystocia the agouti (Dasyprocta leporina). The utilized for its meat South America and Caribbean. More recently, farming of these animals intensively being practiced Neo-tropics. case report attempted provide some insight into which rarely reported captivity. A female weighing approximately 3 kg...
