The effect of female age and subsequent number of litter on the number of standard chinchilla kits (Chinchilla lanigera) born and reared

Abstract: The objective of this study was to prove how the number of kits born and reared is affected by female's age and the subsequent number of whelping during a given year. Our research was carried out on a farm in Poland, with the use of 532 chinchilla females of the standard variety. Significant influence of the year and the females' age on the number of kits born and reared, as well as the subsequent number of litter in a given year on the number of chinchillas born was established. It was found that the largest … Show more

“…The length of use of female chinchillas and factors affecting it were also analyzed (Bieniek et al., 2003; Brzozowski & Nyrek‐Koczkodaj, 2007; Dzierżanowska‐Góryń et al., 2011). Reproduction results were also studied depending on the type and behavior of female chinchillas and the age of the mother (Ślaska & Rozempolska‐Rucińska, 2010a, 2010b; Święcicka et al., 2018). The influence of genetic factors on chinchilla fertility was also considered in several papers (Rozempolska‐Rucińska et al., 2006).…”
