Abstract:In guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), dystocia is a common occurrence. Several factors have been identified in the literature, including the ossification of the pubic symphysis following failure to breed before 9–12 months of age.

The first group consisted of non‐breeding females, while the second group comprised females introduced to breeding at 4–6 months of age. Twelve pai… Show more
