“…Our analysis shows that the predominant species in the composition of diets corresponded to grasses (Poaceae), local forage resources (Asteraceae), tree resources, legumes (Leguminoseae) and kitchen waste. These results agree with a review article developed by Simtowe et al (2017) in sub-Saharan African countries (Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Cameroon, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Tanzania) in which the authors reported that the predominant C. porcellus (Ayagirwe et al, 2018;Faihun et al, 2017;Franklin et al, 2017;Kampemba et al, 2017;Kouadio Kouakou et al, 2015;Ngoula et al, 2017;Ngoupayou et al, 1995;Simtowe et al, 2017).…”

“…Illiteracy levels in producers of C. porcellus reported for Sub-Saharan Africa were 55% (Benin), 19% (Côte d'Ivoire), 29% (Cameroon) and 42% (Democratic Republic of Congo) (Faihun et al, 2017;Herman et al, 2014;Mass et al, 2016). These were considered high and constitute an obstacle to improved production (Ayagirwe et al, 2018).…”

The Cavia porcellus L. systems implemented by small producers in Colombia have been slow to apply the processes of development and incorporation of feeding practices and technology in nutritional support. The objective of this study was to determine the feeding practices and technology in nutritional support implemented and projected in the C. porcellus L. systems by the producers. Four components were evaluated in 404 C. porcellus L. units and 29 focus groups: demography, identification of the production unit, implemented feeding practices, technology in nutrition and feeding, and the C. porcellus L. producers' perspectives. A Pearson Chi-squared test, a Tukey’s T-test, and a Multiple Linear Regression were used to evaluate the differences between regions using SPSS software version 20. The average area of C. porcellus L. -producing units corresponded to 0.35 ha (Nariño) and 0.17 ha (Putumayo). The predominant food base was forage (67%) produced on the farm (83%). There were significant differences between regions, with a p < 0.05 in food base, forage cultivation area, forage conservation feeding practices, type of fertilization, and the group of animals supplemented. The use of technology such as feed based on kitchen waste and supplements was used by producers in the Putumayo region (p > 0.05) most frequently. Our data show that C. porcellus L. systems in the study area not only have a high potential in the diversity of the forage supplements that makes up the diets but also in the development and implementation of feeding practices and technology in nutrition and animal feeding.

“…Les élevages caviacoles béninoises constituent une source de protéines surtout aux populations rurales des départements du Mono et du Couffo (situés au Sud-Est) mais également d'animaux de sacrifices dans les cultes de religions endogènes (Faihun et al, 2017). Au Bénin et à l'instar des autres pays africains, les cobayes reçoivent une alimentation inadéquate qui reste un handicap majeur au développement de ce type d'élevage (Niba et al, 2012 ;Faihun et al, 2017). En effet, dans la plupart des élevages caviacoles la ration quotidienne des animaux est souvent composée d'espèces graminéennes telles que Panicum maximum et Pennisetum purpureum (Noumbissi et al, 2014 ;Kouakou et al, 2010).…”

“…Their meat contains low fat, and more protein and minerals as compared to meat of other livestock species (Kouakou et al, 2013). They get mature earlier and they are prolific (Dikko et al, 2009;Lammers et al, 2009) with less competition to human as their diet is mainly made up of crop residues, kitchen wastes and forages (Bacigale et al, 2014;Kouakou et al, 2015 andFaihun et al, 2017). They are easily reared with other species such as rabbits (Lammers et al, 2009), and they require less care if kept in relatively clean environment (NRC, 1991;Lammers et al, 2009).…”

Domestic cavies (Cavia porcellus L.) are one of the mini livestock used in Sub-Saharan Africa to improve foodand nutrition security, and also income generation. In DRC, these animals are part of ‘rehabilitation kits’ forhumanitarian organizations and because they are included in the agricultural portfolio of development agenciesthat seek to address the challenges of widespread hunger and malnutrition in destabilized eastern regions. Thisstudy was carried out to assess the phenotypic diversity of cavies reared in DRC as well as their typology andidentify the major parameters that could be used for breeding purposes. A total of 1,250 animals were characterizedbased on qualitative (coat color pattern, eyes color, satin of the coat and coat color variegation, the head shape andears orientation) and quantitative traits (animal weight, animal length, head length, body length, heart girth, andthe animal height). Main results indicated a body weight ranging from 300 to 1,203g at maturity and a total animallength from 20 to 38.5 cm. Three main coat colors patterns were identified (white, brown and black) from whichderived several combinations, the most common combination being white-brown-black (43.09%) or the brown-white (23.98%). Three clusters were identified from the typology results, and differed essentially by the animallength, body length, body weight and head length, coat color pattern, eyes color, coat color variegation, headprofile and the animal origin. These results indicate a first step in the decision making and orientation of the geneticimprovement in this promising species.
