Factors Influencing Behaviour of Guinea Pig Females During the Birth

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this study was tested hypothesis that factors sex of young, birth weight of young, litter size, season of year and time of day affecting female behaviour. Females of domestic guinea pigs (Cavia aperea f. porcellus) 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 young, birth weight, condition of young, litter size, season, daytime. In the overall evaluation, a relation between the alive and dead young and other observed values were assessed using Statistix 9.0. 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 instinstive urge of female guinea pigs. Another parameter in which statistical significance was clearly proved was a litter size. Some female do not manage to clean all their youngs after giving birth to a large litter, they are more exhausted and the impact is fatal on the newborn youngs. The ethological obsarvation has also led to a finding that the females devote special care to their firstborn and neglect the others.This phennomenon often leads to the late rupture of embryonic covers and suffocation of the young as well. Birth weight of newborns is annother indicator that has an impact on mortality of the young at birth. It is closely connected with litter size. In conclusion, the study has proved a relationship between selected parameters which can have an effect on the behaviour of female guinea pigs during birth with an impact on giving birth to the live young.
