Détermination de l’âge de l’aulacode (<i>Thryonomys swinderianus</i., Temminck 1827) femelle à partir des caractères morphométriques

Abstract: RESUMEDans le but de déterminer l'âge de l'aulacode (Thryonomys swinderianus Temminck, 1827) au Bénin, une étude a été réalisée sur les caractères morphométriques tels que la longueur tête-corps (LTC), la longueur de la queue (LQ), la longueur de l'oreille (LO), la longueur du pied postérieur gauche (LPPG) sans les griffes, le pourtour du cou (PC), le pourtour de la tête (PT), le pourtour thoracique (Pth) et le poids vif corporel de l'aulacode. Tous ces paramètres ont été mesurés et pris à l'aide d'un mètre ru… Show more

“…However, Egena (2010) reports that in young guinea pigs aged 8 to 10 weeks, the best predictors of body weight are body length, trunk length and heart girth. Morphometric characters such as head-body length, tail length, ear length, left hind foot length without claws, neck circumference, head circumference, chest circumference and physical body weight are also used for age determination as reported by Sacramento et al (2013) on grasscutters. The different predicting equations found by these authors could not be used for guinea pig which has no tail.…”

“…Linear, curvilinear, weight, and other measurements were made on guinea pigs. These measurements were made following the method used by Sacramento et al (2013). The different parameters measured are the head-body length (HBL), the chest circumference (CC), the head circumference (HC), the neck circumference (NC), the left hind foot length (FL), and the left ear length (EL).…”

“…Par contre, les moyennes LTC enregistrées à 56 jours d'âge (34,93 cm) et à 168 jours d'âge (54,24 cm) dans cette étude sont similaires à celles rapportées par Annor et al (2011), ce qui est en accord avec les résultats obtenus dans cette étude. Toutefois, les valeurs de LTC obtenues sont inférieures à celles enregistrées par Sacramento et al (2013b). Ce qui est en accord avec nos résultats.…”

“…In Benin, the breed grasscutters are mainly fed with a wide range of dry and fresh fodder with dietary supplements composed of energetic, nitrogen, vitamin and mineral matter (Mensah 1995;Tolebaet al, 2009).Some breeders supplement fodder with crop residues, agro-industrial products and kitchen remnants.However, faced with all-season feeding problems faced by growers, the production of complete pelleted feed can be the sustainable solution for feeding the grasscutters in captivity (Aïzounet al, 2015).Several studies on grasscutters in captivity have led to significant advances in feeding, reproductive control, zootechnical performance, ethology, age determination (Mensah, 2000, Sacramento et al, 2013, But few were devoted to the nutritional values of grasscutter meat, especially fed with pellets feed.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of the carcass and to determine the nutritional values of grasscutter in captivity fed with pellets foods based on green fodder, maize products and by-products and other Food ingredients.…”
