“…Due to their demand as a source of meat, they are now being domesticated and captive reared in the sub‐Saharan Africa (Igado et al, 2016; Ogogo, 2020). Furthermore, efforts are being made to increase their growth and reproduction performance in captivity (Aizoun et al, 2016; Olusola & Emmanuel, 2015; Wogar & Ayara, 2015). Greater cane rats are also used in biomedical research (Hulin & Quinn, 2006).…”
