| vertebral column, rib and sternal muscles of sulawesi babirusa (babyrousa celebensis). | the muscular anatomy of the vertebrae, ribs and sternebrae of the sulawesi babirusa (babyrousa celebensis) is described. there are many similarities to the anatomy of the domestic pig (sus scrofa). however, unlike other pigs, the m. spinalis et semispinalis cervicis et thoracis has an origin from the twelfth thoracic mamillary process. similarly, the babyrousa does not have the lumbar part of the m. obliquus internus abdominis which is found in other pigs. the m. sacrocaudalis dorsalis medialis ... | 2010 | 21108656 |
| anatomy and histology of the reproductive tract of the female babirusa (babyrousa celebensis). | the anatomy and histology of the female reproductive tract of the indonesian wild pig babyrousa celebensis was studied by means of reproductive tracts obtained from seven animals aged between two and 22 years of age. the ovary appeared to have the ability to ovulate up to four ova at one time. however, the combined ovarian output seemed to average 1.86 ova. ovulation can take place at any time from puberty to old age (22 years). the opening to the uterine tube was indicated by a 'flower-like' ar ... | 2010 | 20416941 |
| cranial muscles of the sulawesi babirusa (babyrousa celebensis). | the detailed muscular anatomy of the head of the sulawesi babirusa (babyrousa celebensis) is described for the first time. the results show that the muscular anatomy of the babyrousa is very similar to the pig genus sus, despite long geological separation from it. some differences were noted: the m. parietoauricularis was more clearly separated into two parts in the babirusa than in the domestic pig; the rostral fibres of the m. levator anguli oculi reached the infraorbital sinus in the babirusa ... | 2010 | 20028377 |
| management of toxic mastitis in a babirusa (babyrousa celebensis). | a 1 yr 8 mo-old, previously healthy, primiparous female babirusa (babyrousa celebensis) presented acutely recumbent and minimally responsive approximately 36 hr after giving birth to a single piglet. toxic mastitis was diagnosed based on physical examination and laboratory results. the mammary tissue was firm, discolored, and produced negligible amounts of milk. all of the teats were eventually affected, resulting in the inability to provide adequate nutrition to the piglet. although toxic masti ... | 2015 | 26667559 |
| the anatomy and histology of the reproductive tract of the male babirusa (babyrousa celebensis). | the anatomy and histology of the reproduction organs of the male babirusa (babyrousa celebensis) were studied in 21 specimens collected between birth and approximately 17 years of age. in adult animals the testes were located in a subanal position against the caudal surface of the thigh musculature. average adult testis length was 68.9 ± 5.1 mm, width was 40.3 ± 5.7 mm, and depth was 47.9 ± 7.0 mm (n = 11). the average combined adult testicular weight was estimated to be 82.7 ± 23.2 g (n = 11). ... | 2013 | 23481670 |
