Swipe Right to Match the stripes. Which Factors impact Pair compatibility in Okapi?

Onderzoeksoutput: Bijdrage aan congresPoster

Pair incompatibilities caused by limited free mate choice, can undermine the goals of a breeding programme. Within the EAZA Ex-situ programme for Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) episodes of male aggressive behaviour during breeding introductions have been observed and are associated with incompatibility of the pair. Understanding which husbandry and biological factors influence or predict this aggressiveness is an essential tool to manage and improve the programme. In this study we investigated the influence of age difference, calf socialisation and two different oestrus husbandries in the occurrence of male aggressive behaviour.
