INFLUENCE OF SOME FACTORS ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF FEMALE DOMESTIC GUINEA PIGS DURING LABOR AND NUMBER OF SUFFOCATED YOUNG
Original language description
The aim of this study was to examine selected factors that influence the behaviour of female domestic guinea pigs (Cavia aperea f. porcellus) during giving birth to the young. Sows do not treat up to 45% of the born young that subsequently die due to asphyxiation in embryonic covers. Following determinants were observed: sex of the young, birth weight, condition of the young (alive/dead), litter size, season, daytime. In the overall evaluation, a relation between the alive/dead young and other observedvalues was assessed using Pearson's chi-squared test statistical method. A statistical significance was unambiguously proved in the case of daytime, which clearly reflected the influence of light and darkness on a loss of maternal behaviour and instinctive urge of female guinea pigs. Another parameter in which statistical significance was clearly proved was litter size. Some sows do not manage to clean all their young after giving birth to a large litter, they are more exhausted and the
