Composition of the fetal fluids in African antelopes

Twenty-four samples of amniotic and allantoic fetal fluids were collected from 15 African antelopes of 11 species and subspecies. Two samples were taken from delivered placentas and the rest were from animals that died during pregnancy or parturition. Data on the sex, development (crown-rump length)...

Summary:Twenty-four samples of amniotic and allantoic fetal fluids were collected from 15 African antelopes of 11 species and subspecies. Two samples were taken from delivered placentas and the rest were from animals that died during pregnancy or parturition. Data on the sex, development (crown-rump length) and age (trimester of pregnancy) of fetuses, fluid volumes, pH, and 18 biochemical parameters were obtained wherever conditions permitted. Collecting data on fetal fluids in zoo and wild animals may help evaluate both normal and pathological pregnancies.
