An Investigation of Ovarian and Adrenal Hormone Activity in Post-Ovulatory Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)

Koester, D., Maly, M., Putman, S., Edwards, K., Meeks, K., & Crosier, A. (2022, March 22). Animals.

By: D. Koester *, M. Maly n, S. Putman *, K. Edwards *, K. Meeks & A. Crosier *

author keywords: cheetah; hormone; pregnancy; glucocorticoid; progestagen; estrogen; artificial insemination
topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Veterinary Medicine and Surgery; Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to examine and compare ovarian and adrenal hormones post-ovulation in pregnant and non-pregnant animals to better understand female physiology after natural breeding or artificial insemination, and determine what may be contributing to the frequent lack of success.

Assessing puberty in female cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) via faecal hormone metabolites and body weight

Maly, M. A., Edwards, K. L., Koester, D. C., Farin, C. E., & Crosier, A. E. (2021, November 30). Reproduction Fertility and Development.

By: M. Maly n, K. Edwards*, D. Koester*, C. Farin n & A. Crosier *

author keywords: Acinonyx jubatus; cheetahs; development; endocrinology; glucocorticoid; growth; oestrogen; puberty
MeSH headings : Acinonyx; Animals; Body Weight / physiology; Estrogens / analysis; Estrogens / metabolism; Feces / chemistry; Female; Glucocorticoids / analysis; Sexual Maturation / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock; Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones; Primate Behavior and Ecology; Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
TL;DR: Characterisation ofCheetah puberty has direct and significant implications for the improvement of management and reproductive success of cheetahs under human care and is particularly informative for identifying important windows of development, littermate dispersal and breeding introductions.

2020 article

First Birth of Cheetah Cubs from In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer

Crosier, A. E., Lamy, J., Bapodra, P., Rapp, S., Maly, M., Junge, R., … Comizzoli, P. (2020, October 5). Animals.

By: A. Crosier *, J. Lamy*, P. Bapodra *, S. Rapp*, M. Maly n, R. Junge*, H. Haefele, J. Ahistus, J. Santiestevan*, P. Comizzoli *

author keywords: assisted breeding; cheetahs; ovum pick-up; in vitro fertilization; embryo transfer
topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive Biology and Fertility; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Sperm and Testicular Function
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that transfer of 4–8 cell embryos produced by in vitro fertilization with oocytes from old donors could result in pregnancy after transfer into younger recipients, representing the first cheetah births resulting from transfer of embryos produced in vitro.

2018 article

Assessing puberty in ex situ male cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) via fecal hormone metabolites and body weights

Maly, M. A., Edwards, K. L., Farin, C. E., Koester, D. C., & Crosier, A. E. (2018, July 17). General and Comparative Endocrinology.

By: M. Maly n, K. Edwards *, C. Farin n, D. Koester * & A. Crosier *

author keywords: Glucocorticoids; Androgens; Sexual maturity; Population management
MeSH headings : Acinonyx; Animals; Body Weight / physiology; Cats; Feces / chemistry; Hormones / metabolism; Male; Puberty / metabolism; Sexual Maturation
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Sperm and Testicular Function
TL;DR: Knowing about the physiological changes associated with puberty is useful for management and improving reproductive success of cheetah populations under human care, particularly for determining timing of litter separation from dam, littermate dispersal and when to introduce potential breeding pairs.
