Pelvimetric characteristics in agoutis (Dasyprocta prymnolopha) bred under human care

Rev. bras. ciênc. vet; 29 (3), 2022
The aim of the study was to establish the pattern of the agouti pelvis by obtaining external and radiographic internal pelvimetric values. Forty-three agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha), females and males bred in under human care were used. The parameters measured were the external biiliac diameter; the ext...

Radiographic pelvimetry in 0 to 24 month-old pacas (Agouti paca, Linnaeus, 1766)

The pelvimetry consists of the metric determination of the pelvis dimensions and its use is directly related to the reproduction. The cartilage closure time of the ossification centers varies according to the bone, some closing already in the uterine life and others remaining present for many years. The ...

X-ray pelvimetry in common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus - LINNAEUS, 1758)

The common marmoset is an important Neotropical primate for biomedical research. With the intention of providing pelvimetric values that allow the selection of animals with better characteristics for reproduction, we studied the X-ray of the pelvis, in ventro-dorsal projection of 12 adult animals, six ma...
