Seasonal foraging behavioural compensation in reproductive wapiti hinds (Cervus elaphus canadensis).
Captive wapiti hinds were observed during seven periods between June 1996 and November 1997. We investigated their activity and foraging behaviour on two pastures, heavily and lightly grazed, during four phases of the reproductive cycle (early gestation, late gestation, peak lactation, and late lactation). Within season, differences in forage availability between pastures had little apparent ef...
متن کاملNumbers of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and their hybrids with wapiti (Cervus elaphus spp.) farmed in New Zealand
This paper outlines findings for three experiments on the AgResearch Invermay deer farm that quantified soil and water quality via fence-line pacing and wallowing, and water quality in streams draining the farm. Five weeks after winter grazing (28 hinds/ha), fence-line pacing decreased soil macroporosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity, and increased suspended sediment (SS; 0.226 g/100ml),...
متن کاملComparison of Fatty Acids with Amino Acids Profiles of Wapiti Deer (Cervus elaphus) Muscle
The fatty acids and amino acids compositions of different parts of wapiti deer (Cervus elaphus) muscle (loin, chops, shoulder and hindquarters) were analyzed in this study. In total, fifteen types of fatty acid were identified and quantified in fresh and freeze-dried samples, with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) constituting approximately 47.82-59.04%...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in the histology of the testis of the red deer, Cervus elaphus.
A histological study of the testes of stags shot in autumn (sexual season) and spring (quiescent period) indicated that the 3-fold increase in testicular size observed in the autumn was accompanied by increases in nearly all features studied (volumes of intertubular tissue, Leydig cells, blood vessels and peritubular cells; diameter and length of seminiferous tubules; the number of A1 spermatog...
متن کاملEstimating dry matter digestibility and intake in wapiti (Cervus elaphus canadensis) using the double n-alkane ratio technique
We estimated dry matter digestibility and intake (DMI) in wapiti hinds using the double n-alkane method. We also assessed intra-ruminal controlled-release devices (CRD) for administering n-alkane markers C32 and C36. Nine wapiti hinds were offered alfalfa-based compounded diet for ad libitum consumption and actual DMI was measured daily (mean: 9.2 1.6 kg DM/day). The DMI estimate for C33:C32 (9...
