The giant panda breeding capacity

Giant Pandas in Washington and then decline by several hundreds of thousands of years, as well as the brink of extinction position. Many reasons, in addition to the deterioration of the external environment, the ability to have their own fertility and reproduction issues.
According to experts began their anatomy, histology, physiology and endocrinology, such as the long-term study indicate that Giant pandas low reproductive dysfunction. Because genetic and environmental causes severe dysplasia many panda's reproductive system, reproductive endocrine disorder in adult life. not normal ovulation or ovulation, as well as lifelong infertility.
Hi sexual pandas living alone, the heat only willing to heterosexual contact. Female pandas mating only once a year, and its highly marriages, non-see "strict" no dumping "ball." In the wild, animals often go through public brutal fighting competition, the winner will receive a pro stare males. If a small population lack adequate quality Xiongshou obviously will greatly reduce the normal male and female mating opportunities, and reduce the pregnancy rate after mating.
Most of the giant panda breeding single fetus, even the birth of twins in which one often only dependency. Giant Panda cubs very fragile, very vulnerable because of a lack of nutrition, illness, bad weather or having enemies and mortality.
Female pandas rarely intake during pregnancy and lactation, and because breastfeeding alone with the baby and the best working dependents, extreme physical failure, a great impact on their health and life expectancy. After the end of the lactation period, the carrier will continue caring for children and animals, teach them the skills to survive and feed intake. Under such circumstances, the mother animal will instinctively "restraint" in themselves, no heat, suspended birth until the children grow up to become "human" flown.
The wild giant panda habitat area to be seriously isolated into small pieces. they just need to monopolize a large area of territory in order to ensure survival in the small habitat, can accommodate the giant panda is very limited. Stocks of a small, inevitably will lead to inbreeding, reduced genetic diversity, hereditary properties, the ability to reproduce. viability of the overall degradation.
Artificial breeding of giant pandas can reduce the harm wild natural enemies and diseases, nutrition supply security, the elimination of bad weather attacks. In addition, it will be much more reasonable : matching panda breeding capacity, intended to avoid inbreeding. improved breeding and genetic processes; Through artificial insemination, breeding can increase economic opportunities and improve the breeding pregnancy rates; Aberdeen mother of the meticulous care and adequate nutrition supply, improve infant survival, especially twins survived. and promote their normal development, but also conducive to the health of the mother animal, it quickly restored physical, prepare for the next birth. Years of practice has proved that the artificial breeding of pandas, and moved to protect the giant panda is one of the important strategies to save.
