Introduction for the 2009 North American/Global Giraffe Studbook

This is the seventh edition of the Giraffe, Giraffa camelopardalis, North American Regional Studbook, with additional data comprising an global dataset. Data from 1824 to December 2009 are included. All nine giraffe subspecies are included in the studbook data. Seven of the nine subspecies are currently in a collection. Living camelopardalis and thornicrofti are not currently represented in zoos. I would be grateful to hear of new data, additional historical data or mistakes in the data. Sections Available Include: Introduction and Analysis, page 2

Data Sources: Data was compiled using the following resources:

International Species Information System (ISIS) Data provided by institutions, entered into ISIS' Animal Record Keeping

System (ARKS) Historical data in the form of ledgers, newspaper clippings, annual reports

and letters Marvin Jones, Registrar Emeritus, San Diego Zoo, who provided invaluable data

from the logbook from the USDA Quarantine Station, Clifton, NJ (August 1958 - September 1978).

The European/EAZA studbook keeper: Mr. Tim Rowlands, Chester Zoo, England. [email protected] Formerly Mr. Marc Damen of the Zodiac Zoo group in Overloon, Netherlands.

The Japanese/JAZGA studbook keeper, Mr. Masato Yoshihara of Tama Zoo, Tokyo. [email protected] Formerly Mr. Shigemi Shichiri, Mr. Mizuki Karasawa of Tama Zoo, Tokyo.

The Australasian/ARAZPA studbook keeper, Mrs. Lorraine Jolly of Victorias Open Range Zoo, Werribee. [email protected]

Data was assembled using the ISIS SPARKS studbook software, version 1.56. If discrepancies existed between the information available from institutions, notes were entered into the Special Data section for the animal in question. Notes on Subspecies Identification The subspecies noted in the studbook are based on the founder animals subspecies designation determined by the importing zoo. Some of this information has been disproved by DNA analysis. Rothschildi: Hemmingford's 636 Brigit, 642 Louise, 643 Wrinkles, 644 Graf and 681 Lucky were all imported to North America from Longleat, England. They are currently considered to be founders, although provenance and parentage are unknown. Rockton's 680 Tom and 630 Teresa were imported to North America from Woburn, England. They are currently considered to be founders, although provenance and parentage are unknown. NY Bronx's 1.2 founders, 449 Alfie, 448 Penelope and 450 Gertrude, were originally recorded by the zoo as rothschildi. However, the USDA logs for the Clifton quarantine facility as well as the PPEQ forms at Bronx report these animals as reticulata. Pictures from NY Bronx confirm these animals to be rothschildi (Dec 96). Camelopardalis: Houston's 1.1 founders 239 Hi-Cecil and 243 Hi-Cecilia were originally recorded by the zoo as camelopardalis. However, the USDA logs for the Clifton quarantine facility report these animals as reticulata. PPEQ forms are not available. Analysis of pictures supports identification as reticulata. As of July 96 these animals are considered to be reticulata. The USDA quarantine facility at Clifton, New Jersey, had 210 giraffe pass through it. In all but the above 5 cases, the Clifton logs, the PPEQ forms (when available) and the institution records match in regards subspecies.

Natural History

Systematics Giraffe are in the Order Artiodactyla, Suborder Ruminantia, Infraorder Pecora, Family Giraffidae, sub-family Giraffinae. There are two living giraffids, the okapi, Okapi johnstoni and the giraffe, Giraffa camelopardalis. Based primarily on patterns of trunk spots and association with a particular geographic region, there are currently nine recognized subspecies (Ansell, 1968.) Disagreement remains to the extent to which these are genetically distinct. Nubian giraffe - G. c. camelopardalis - type locality Ethiopia. Distribution -

eastern Sudan and Eritrea. West African giraffe - G. c. peralta - type locality near Lokija, at and

probably north of the Niger and Benur Rivers in Nigeria (Happold, 1969.) Distribution - northern Nigeria.

Kordofan giraffe - G. c. antiquorum - type locality south of Senaar, Sudan (Allen, 1939.) Distribution - western Sudan.

Reticulated giraffe - G. c. reticulata - type locality the Loroghi Mountains in Kenya. Distribution - northeastern Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

Rothschild's (Baringo) giraffe - G. c. rothschildi - type locality west of Lake Baringo, Kenya (Lydekker, 1908.) Distribution - western Kenya and eastern Uganda.

Masai giraffe - G. c. tippelskirchi - type locality Tareta, Kenya. Distribution - Tanzania and southern Kenya.

Thornicroft giraffe - G. c. thornicrofti - type locality Petarke, Eastern Province, Northern Zambia. Distribution - Luangwa Valley.

Angolan giraffe - G. c. angolensis - type locality by the Cunene River 240 kms. southwest of Humbe, Angola. Distribution - southern Angola.

South African giraffe - G. c. giraffa - type locality Cape of Good Hope. Distribution - southeastern Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique.

Status and Distribution of Wild Populations Giraffe are widespread in Africa south of the Sahara, in open woodlands and wooded grasslands wherever browse is available. Although they ranged over all Africa 10,000 years ago, giraffe became extinct in North Africa and the Sahara as the climate changed and most of the region became the desert it remains today. Rock paintings demonstrate that giraffes were once widespread in what is now total desert (Kingdon, 1979.) They vanished from Egypt more than 4,000 years ago and Morocco about 1,400 years ago.

They did, however, continue to flourish in sub-Saharan Africa until recently and are still relatively common in East and South Africa, although their distribution in West Africa has been fragmented by poaching (Pellew, 1984.) Although not currently listed in CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) nor by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, they are protected in most countries of occurrence. As modern weapons replace traditional forms of hunting, they are considered vulnerable to human exploitation and increasing populations. The Nubian subspecies (G. c. camelopardalis) is considered to be rare (Calle and Bournmann, 1988) and Rothschild's (G. c. rothschildi) has a restricted range and relatively

small number (Burton and Pearson, 1987.) According to a recent IUCN report, there are currently approximately 95,000 giraffe in Africa in the countries of Kenya (>40,000), Tanzania (30,700), South Africa (>7900), Zambia (>1000), Chad (820+), Republic of Congo (280), Mali (

dominant bull present will readily displace any subordinate male, usually by facing or walking toward him. Breeding occurs throughout the year, though there is often a peak associated with seasonal nutritional variation that differs according to geographic location (Hall-Martin et al., 1975.) Gestation is approximately 14.5 months with an average interval between births of about 20 months (Pellew, 1984.) During the first year of life, calf mortality is as high as 75% due to predation (Foster, 1977.) Calves are generally weaned at 15 months (male) and 17 months for females (Pellew, 1984.) Giraffes are primarily active in the hours just after dawn and just before dusk but can spend 16 to 20 hours per day feeding, with the hot midday spent ruminating and resting. Activity at night is dependent on the phase or brightness of the moon, more activity occurring on brighter nights. A wide variety of plant foods is eaten, depending on local and seasonal availability. Generally, fresh foliage is preferred and, in season, seedpods, vines and fruits may also be eaten. Giraffes are often associated with species of acacia and mimosa and, though capable of surviving without fresh water for several days, do need water to live.

Recent distribution of the giraffe in sub-Saharan Africa, within historic times (outlined with dotted lines, after Krumbiegel, 1939), at present (outlined with solid lines), and at three fossil sites (marked X). Type localities of the nine recognized subspecies are shown by triangles: A, G.c. camelopardalis; B, G.c. antiquorum; C, G. c. peralta; D, G.c. reticulata; E, G.c. rothschildi; F, G.c. tippelskirchi; G, G.c. thornicrofti; H, G.c. angolensis; and I, G.c. giraffa.

A short history of giraffes in captivity Giraffes have been in captivity for a very long time - haltered figures appear among the art adorning Tutankhamen's tomb constructed in the 14th century BC. One of the earliest written accounts dates to 525 AD and concerns the King of Ethiopia's pets. Giraffes, in the form of state gifts, began appearing outside continental Africa over 500 years ago. One animal, presented to the third emperor of China in 1414 AD, walked over 3000 miles from East Africa. The modern history of the giraffe in captivity began in 1826 when the Pasha of Egypt presented a two year old Nubian apiece to the King of France, the Emperor of Austria and King George IV of England, accompanied by retinues of keepers and milk cows. Further animals to Europe followed. The first calf in Europe was born in London in June, 1839. Rufus Welch of New Berlin, New York imported the first two giraffes in the United States in March 1837. They were brought into the port of Boston and subsequently appeared in the travelling menageries that were so popular in this age. They each lived for four to five years. These animals were followed by a few others over the next decade. The first giraffes in North American zoos were 0.0.3 imported for the Central Park menagerie in 1872, 1.5 for the Philadelphia Zoo in 1874, and 1.1 for the Cincinnati Zoo in 1878. The first birth of a giraffe in North America occurred on 20 October 1889 at the Cincinnati Zoo. This calf lived only five days as the dam would not nurse it. Further births occurred there in 1900 and 1910. In March 1914, a female Nubian was born at the winter quarters of the Barnum & Bailey Circus in Bridgeport, Connecticut, followed by births there in 1914 and 1916. From 1920-1950, 30 additional calves were produced at the Bronx, Detroit, Brookfield, San Diego, National, Milwaukee, Columbus and San Antonio Zoos.

STUDBOOK HEADINGS Stud#: Animal's permanent studbook number. For the first edition of the studbook, these were assigned chronologically. Subsequent numbers are assigned as animals are made known to the studbook keeper. Each institution should enter these into ARKS for all animals that they have held. Animals are assigned a studbook number according to their first region. Additional studbook numbers are listed below the first one, if others exist.

AZA studbook numbers are pure numbers. EAZA studbook numbers follow the pattern of x-xxxx Japanese studbook numbers are preceded by the letters A - G Australasian studbook numbers are preceded by the letters AS. Animals that do not yet have a permanent number are preceded by an X.

Sex: M for male, m for castrated or vasectomized male, F for female, f for contracepted female, U for unknown sex. Birthdate: Animal's birthdate. A tilde mark, '~', before a date indicates that it is approximate. '??' indicates that the date is unknown. All imported animals are considered to be 1-2 years of age at import, depending on the time of year at import. Exceptions are those with specific capture information or those with height/weight data. Sire and Dam: Studbook numbers for the animal's sire and dam. 'UNK' if unknown. 'MULT' if several candidates have been identified. Details appear in the Comments section. Location: The institution that has acquired the animal. If the animal is no longer traceable by the studbook keeper, 'ltf' (lost-to-followup) will appear to the right of the last known location. Date: The date on which an animal arrived at a location. A tilde mark, '~', before a date indicates that it is approximate. '??' indicates that the date is unknown. Local ID: The location's local ID, often its ISIS number or house name. Event: Birth, Transfer (physical move with corresponding ownership change), Loan (physical move without ownership change), Ownership (ownership change without physical move), Death. Name: Animal's house name(s), in the order in which they were given. If several animals at one institution have had the same name, an identifier has been added to avoid confusion. Ex: Jim 1, Jim 2, Jim 3. Subsp: Best knowledge of an animals subspecific designation. DNA analysis for the North American population has shown that animals formerly labeled reticulata or rothschildi are actually a mixed population. They are currently managed as a retic/roth complex. Hybrid animals may have been imported in the 1950s-1980s and/or some animals were mis-identified at importation.

RESEARCH

Artificial Insemination: A female calf was produced by artificial insemination at the B-Seven Ranch Wildlife Research Center in Texas in July 1993. She lived until November 1994. A second calf was reported to have been produced.

DNA: Several research projects looking at giraffe DNA have been completed. These were based at the London Zoo, Omaha Zoo, California State University at Hayward (results below), and the University of California at Los Angeles. DNA Project Summary March 2000 Chris Baysdorfer, PhD, California State University at Hayward Caveats: The population sampled was limited to captive North American animals, but also included several European

and South American animals. All results are applicable to tested animals only - a wide sampling of animals in the wild would change some, but not all, aspects of the results.

The results refer only to an analysis of mitochondrial DNA - a useful stretch of DNA to work with but not reflective of all of the diversity in a population.

The analysis assumes accurate pedigrees and accurate identification of subspecies at time of import. The tree is a graphic representation of genetic relationships between organisms. The closer you are on the tree, the tighter the relationship. So, for example, Group B ret and Group C roth are both at the end of the same branch and have exactly the same sequence. These two, in turn, are related to animals on a branch that contains Groups A and E ret as well as other samples. There are 9 sequence differences between these. The branches on this tree are highly supported (bootstrap values all above 90%) meaning that the reliability is pretty good. To assess the reliability of this work, I included "duplicate" samples. These are different animals from the same maternal lineage that should have exactly the same sequence of DNA. For 11 of these this was true but for 3 this was not true. For example, 2449 had a different sequence than either 2331 (his mother) or 1932 (his aunt). Potential explanations for this include mixed-up samples, contaminated PCR reactions, or an incorrect pedigree. These animals are being re-collected and will be re-run. Weve identified several additional uncollected maternal lines and will be contacting zoos for this material. Results: For the animals tested, angolensis is genetically distinct. For the animals tested, most or all masai are genetically distinct. There is a real problem with their diversity.

"Group A tip" contains 5 different maternal lineages, tracing to 3 imports that occurred in 1961, 1966 and 1984. Yet they all have the same sequence. There is only one other confirmed masai lineage.

For the animals tested, retics are a reasonably diverse lot. There are 6+ major groups from the first subset of animals tested. More lines will be tested.

For the animals tested), roths are not genetically distinct for the DNA tested from retics. This is easily seen in the Group B ret/Group C roth branch, these animals have exactly the same sequence. This is also seen in the branch containing the rest of the roths (Group A,B) together with other retics.

Interpretation at this point: Masai are probably genetically distinct from retics, but this will take more analysis, especially of wild animals, to confirm. The genetic "distinctness" between this group and the others is not out of line with those found between "subspecies" of other mammals. Captive roths are indistinct genetically from retics and are a recent offshoot from one group of retics. This doesnt mean that there are no phenotypic or genetic differences between these, its just that the DNA differences are not major. While it is possible that wild roths could be found that form a separate group, the fact is that the captive ones do not. Should these be considered a different subspecies? I would say that here it is up to the individuals who feel they should be maintained separately to make the case, not the other way around. [ Note that the level of sequence difference on the tree for okapi is actually in the 150 range]

Summary of Research Report: Subspecific Assessment of Giraffe in the North American Captive Population

Compared to Extant Giraffe Populations across Africa Using Nuclear Genetic Marker Analyses

R. A. Brenneman, PhD

Omaha Zoo March 2004

Approximately 25% of the North American captive giraffe population (n = 125) was compared to a large data set of wild-sampled giraffe (n = 403) from 28 national parks, refuges, and protected areas in Africa. The wild-sampled individuals are a part of a larger collaborative study being conducted by the International Giraffe Working Group (IGWG) towards the resolution of questions regarding the evolution, population genetics, ecology, behavior, census, and ranges of extant populations of giraffe throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The samples were screened across a battery of 16 published microsatellite loci (Huebinger et al., 2002) and one novel locus (unpublished). Population genetic parameters were estimated using GenePop v.3.2 (Raymond and Roussett, 1995) and FSTAT v.2.9.3 (Goudet, 1995; 2001). Population assignment analyses were performed using two programs possessing different statistical philosophies: WHICHRUN v.4.1 (Banks and Eichert, 2000), a maximum likelihood-based populations assignment algorithm, and STRUCTURE v.2.1 (Prichard et al., 2000), a Bayesian population assignment and admixture assessment algorithm considering posterior probabilities. The results obtained from both methods were consistent in their assignments. Based on the sampling of the captive population, the samples received and classified as Maasai are in agreement with the Maasai populations of southeastern Kenya. The results show that the Reticulated and Rothschilds giraffe subspecific representatives in the captive population are largely not in agreement with the pure subspecies based on the genetic architecture of the populations as sampled today across the accepted ranges of these giraffe subspecies in Africa. There is little genetic differentiation overall and substantial misclassification based on genetic analyses among captive Reticulated, Rothschilds, and those classified by pedigree as hybrids between these two subspecies. From the population assignment and admixture analyses, the captive animals classified as Reticulated, Rothschilds, and hybrids between the two, should in general be considered hybrids of the Reticulated and Rothschilds subspecies as seen today in Kenya. The sources of the suspected error are most likely in the subspecific misclassifications assigned to some founders of the captive population based on but not limited to 1) assignment prior to the complete taxonomic classifications we recognize today (Dagg and Foster, 1976), 2) incomplete capture location records relative to accepted subspecies ranges, 3) subjective pelage pattern assessment, or 4) captures taken from natural hybridization zones. Any founder that was misclassified to a subspecies and used in strict mating plans towards the development of todays captive population would produce hybrids as would the resulting progeny. There is ample evidence that this sort of error is not a reflection on todays Giraffe Studbook (Bingaman

ARTIODACTYL - UNGULATES Recommendations

(1) MGA implant (F) (2) MGA in feed (F)

(c) for giraffes and Nile hippos: 2.0-3.0 mg/day/animal (3) MGA liquid (daily doses as for MGA feed above) (F) (4) PZP vaccine (short term: 2-3 consecutive years) (F) (5) Depo-Provera injection (F)

Giraffe dose: 450 mg every 6 weeks; if estrus occurs, increase by increments of 100 mg;

NOTE: Establishing a correct dosage is hampered by unavailability of body weight measures for individual giraffe and hippos

(6) GnRH Agonists - Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Agonists are considered the safest reversible contraceptives, but dosages and duration of efficacy are not well established for all species; side effects are generally similar to those associated with gonadectomy, especially the potential for weight gain unless diet is controlled; they have not been effective in male artiodactyls (F)

Suprelorin (deslorelin) Implants (F) Lupron Depot Injection (F)

Cautions (1) Synthetic progestins may cause endometritis, pyometra and hydrometra (2) PZP may not be reversible after long-term use (>3 consecutive years) (3) Pregnant artiodactyls contracepted with progestins may be especially susceptible to

suppression of uterine contractions; progestins should only be administered to animals CONFIRMED not pregnant.

(4) Depo-Provera may be a particular problem in pregnant females, since length of efficacy is so variable (approximate range: 2-24 months)

(5) GnRH agonists are not effective in male bovids; effectiveness unknown for other artiodactyls (6) MGA feed and MGA liquid not recommended for suids; dose required for efficacy associated

with side-effects. The PZP Vaccine is not effective either, because it will not elicit an immune response in suids.

Research and Monitoring

(1) PZP with Freunds Incomplete Adjuvant, modified (2) SurveillanceSurveillance for deleterious effects

THE AZA WILDLIFE CONTRACEPTION CENTER at the ST. LOUIS ZOO & THE CONTRACEPTION ADVISORY GROUP ANNOUNCE A NEW CONTRACEPTIVE METHOD, AVAILABLE AS PART OF AN EXPERIMENTAL TRIAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH PURINA

MILLS The Product The progestin melengestrol acetate (MGA) added to Mazuri ADF-16 Herbivore pellet for oral contraception of captive, exotic ungulates. This product provides an alternative contraceptive method particularly for ungulates housed and fed in mixed species/mixed sex herds. Two MGA concentrations will be offered to allow for delivery of the appropriate MGA dose to a variety of ungulate species. Recommended Use This product is considered suitable for species in the families bovids, giraffes, cervids, camelids and hippos. There is considerable historical data on the efficacy of oral MGA as a contraceptive method for domestic cattle, sheep and deer and recent data from use in a variety of captive bovids and cervids. Data from domestic species suggest that males and prepubertal animals are not harmed by MGA consumption at these levels. Information on Safety to Humans When used as directed, this product poses no health risk to humans. Domestic cattle are 240 times more sensitive to MGA than are humans, i.e., a human would have to ingest a dose 240 times higher than that ingested by cattle to have the same effect. The doses being recommended for exotic ungulates are within the range used for cattle. Purina Mills, Inc. believes its wet and dry feed products are not hazardous materials according to the OSHA Hazard Communications Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 or the EPA Community Right-to-Know regulations. Therefore no Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) have been produced. If you have any questions about the Purina Mills MSDS program, please call Mr. Paul Luther at 314-768-4630. Information on Safety to Treated Animals As with all contraceptives used for exotic species, the oral administration of MGA to exotic ungulates must be considered experimental. MGA has been fed to domestic cattle for decades without untoward effects, which suggests that it should be generally safe for ruminants. However, exotic species have not been treated for more than 5 years, so possible longer term effects are not known. Also, species differences may apply. For these reasons, it is critical that records be kept on which feed product is used, amount of feed offered per day, date started, date ended, presence of male(s) in herd, signs of estrous behavior, birth dates of any offspring born, abortions, date of death if an individual dies and any other pertinent observations. These include results of any reproductive tract examinations or liver enzyme analysis of either MGA-treated and untreated animals, females and males. Records must be included annually in the Contraception Advisory Group Survey. The resulting data will form the basis of the FDA reports. Failure to submit the annual survey will result in suspension from the trial. Complete reproductive tracts are needed from contracepted (treated) and non-contracepted (control) females and males to determine whether there are any deleterious effects associated with the contraceptive. Reproductive tracts (collected during ovariohysterectomy, castration or necropsy) can be fixed in buffered formalin by immersion of the entire tract for 72 hrs if an incision is made in each horn or in the testis or ovary, making sure there is a ratio of 1 part tissue to 10 parts formalin. If sending the entire tract is impractical, send a description (or photos) of necropsy results, samples of all lesions (if any), 2 endometrial samples (be sure to include both caruncles and inter-caruncular areas) and both ovaries. We also request liver samples fixed in formalin. A brief summary of the reproductive history of each animal should be included Tissue samples (reproductive tract and liver) should be sent to Dr. Linda Munson at Dept.VM-PMI, 1126 Haring Hall, 1 Shields Ave, University of California, Davis, CA 95616. Phone: 530-754-7567, Fax: 530-752-3349. Latency to effectiveness and to reversal Keep females separate from males during the first week of feeding. Time to reversal is highly individual, but could be as little as two days, if the feed is not available or is not consumed.

Use during pregnancy or lactation Because progestins can block uterine contractions, progestin contraception is not recommended for pregnant animals. However, progestins are believed to be safe for lactating females. Recommended doses The two concentrations are (product code): Mazuri ADF-16 0.1MA (#5ZA4), containing 0.1 mg MGA/lb Mazuri ADF-16 0.5MA (#5ZA5), containing 0.5 mg MGA/lb Either concentration alone or in combination may be used to achieve the recommended daily MGAdose/animal for your individual feeding program. If you would like assistance in determining an appropriate feeding plan please contact Jan Dempsey, St. Louis Zoo Nutritionist, at [email protected] or 314-781-0900 ext. 205. The following daily MGA doses are recommended: 0.5 mg MGA/day/animal - for species with body size smaller than an adult, female banteng. 1.0 mg MGA/day/animal - for species with body size similar to or larger than an adult, female banteng (about 800 lbs). NOTE: The maximum safe dose is considered to be more than 3 times that recommended here. Although progestin contraception can often be effective even when ovulation is not blocked, to ensure efficacy we recommend that the dose be sufficiently high to suppress estrous behavior. Please report observations of estrous behavior in treated animals to Cheryl Asa at [email protected], 314-768-5488 or fax: 314-768-5454, so that a higher dosage can be arranged. Amount to feed The amount of pellet and choice of concentration depends on the species, the body size and on your particular feeding program. The MGA herbivore pellet is intended to replace the regular herbivore pellet in your current diets. The pellet should still be fed in conjunction with hay, in an amount that meets the recommended minimum daily MGA dose while still meeting the nutritional needs of the animals. In general, ruminant herbivores have a daily diet intake of 1.5 4.0% body mass (BM), with larger species consuming food at a smaller percentage of BM than medium or small species. The amount of herbivore pellet to feed is based largely on the quality of hay fed, and the pellet is intended to correct the nutrient imbalances or deficits that might occur on a diet of only hay. Regular analysis of the nutrient content of your hay is highly recommended. It may be necessary to make adjustments in your current feeding regimens in order to deliver the appropriate dose of MGA via the new herbivore products. Current recommendations from zoo nutritionists suggest that medium to large size ruminant herbivores should receive 30-40% of the diet (by weight, as fed basis) as a nutritionally complete herbivore pellet and 60-70% of the diet (by weight, as fed basis) as hay. The type of hay(s) used (i.e., legume or grass hay, species of hay) in the diet is dependent on the nutrient content of the hay, the species being fed and hay types available in your area. The following chart provides examples using the two MGA concentrations with consequent MGA dose delivered for a variety of species. This is intended as an example only; the amount and which MGA concentration to feed may vary for your institution. If you would like assistance in determining an appropriate feeding plan, please contact Jan Dempsey, St. Louis Zoo Nutritionist, at [email protected] or 314-781-0900 ext. 205.

*Total MGA dose per female addax is 0.8 mg/day and per female banteng is 1.0 mg/day Keep females separated from males for the first week of feeding MGA, to be certain that the contraceptive has become effective. NOTE: Once you begin using MGA treated herbivore (either concentration) diet, you MUST feed it continuously, i.e., every day. If you miss feeding it for as few as two days, estrus and ovulation may occur. (A primary use of oral MGA in cattle is to synchronize estrus and ovulation upon its withdrawal). To Participate in the Study All participants will be required to submit annual Contraception Advisory Group surveys that will form the basis of the reports to FDA. The product will continue to be made available for purchase only to those institutions that submit surveys. Research Opportunities If your institution can collect feces weekly from known individuals for hormone analysis, please contact Dr. Joan Bauman, Saint Louis Zoo Endocrinologist, at [email protected] or 314-781-0900 ext. 762. If you are interested in participating in a feed consumption study, please contact Jan Dempsey, Saint Louis Zoo Nutritionist, at [email protected] or 314-781-0900 ext 205.
