Volatile components in dorsal gland secretions of the collared peccary,Tayassu tajacu (Tayassuidae, mammalia)

Abstract: Secretions of the dorsal gland of free-ranging adult male and female collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both sexes contain (2E,6E,10E)-geranylgeraniol; squalene (allE isomer); and the following isomers of springene, a diterpene homolog of β-farnesene: (3E,6E,10E)-α-springene, (3Z,6E,10E)-α-springene, and (6E,10E)-β-springene. A diterpene alcohol and an additional isomer each of squalene and springene also were observed. Straight- and branched-chain esters… Show more

“…Samples were obtained during health inspections, where animals were immobilized by dart injection with ketamine, medetomidine, midazolam, and butorphenol. Secretions were obtained as described in Waterhouse et al (1996). Samples were collected from four males and three females from Phoenix, and from two males and three females from San Diego.…”
