Surgical management of rectal prolapse in an Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis).
An acute rectal mucosal prolapse in a 26-yr-old Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) was repaired surgically by mucosal resection. Two days postoperatively, suture line dehiscence accompanied by substantial hemorrhage was managed by ligation and hemostasis during a second immobilization. Medical management with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and diuretics reduced the mucosal edema and...
متن کاملStudies on digestive physiology and feed digestibilities in captive Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis).
We performed intake, digestibility and ingesta passage studies in 11 Indian rhinoceroses (Rhinoceros unicornis) from four zoological institutions, using total faecal collection for the quantification of faecal output. The regularly fed zoo ration of roughage and concentrates (ration RC) and a roughage-only ration (ration R) were used; the roughage source differed between the facilities and comp...
متن کاملFollicular, endocrine and behavioural dynamics of the Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) oestrous cycle.
Longitudinal ultrasound, behaviour and endocrine evaluations were conducted, over 14 to 18 months, in two young female Indian rhinoceroses (Rhinoceros unicornis) to characterize the oestrous cycle. Both females showed the same pattern of follicular development producing a large follicle (10-12 cm diameter) on one of the ovaries that persisted for 8.5 +/- 4.68 days before spontaneously ovulating...
متن کاملFecal progesterone, estrogen, and androgen metabolites for noninvasive monitoring of reproductive function in the female Indian rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis.
This investigation aimed to establish noninvasive methods for endocrine monitoring of estrous cycles and pregnancy in the Indian rhinoceros. Fecal samples were collected 1-3 times per week from nonpregnant and pregnant captive females (n = 7). Enzyme immunoassays for fecal progesterone, androgen, and estrogen metabolites, respectively, were tested for their ability to determine follicular and l...
متن کاملUSING URINARY HORMONE ANALYSIS TO PREDICT GENDER AND ASSESS FETAL VIABILITY IN THE INDIAN RHINOCEROS (Rhinoceros unicornis)
The high incidence of stillbirth (16% of all births) within the global captive propagation program for Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) has been a major impediment to achieving a sustainable population.2 Many factors have been linked to stillbirth incidence in domestic livestock including: parity, sex of offspring and gestation length. Recent analysis of studbook data indicates primipar...
