Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) X red deer (C. elaphus) interspecies hybrids

Article Abstract:

Red deer and sambar deer have different breeding patterns, but a hybrid of the two species may be useful in deer farming where an extended breeding season could be beneficial. Artificial insemination of 400 red deer females with semen from sambar deer resulted in the birth of four calves, only one of which was born alive. Analysis of the live female calf's blood protein, using gel eletrophoresis and karyotyping, shows that it is the first known sambar deer/red deer hybrid. Details of the experiment are presented.

Genetic analysis of Pere David's X red deer interspecies hybrids

Article Abstract:

The use of artificial breeding technology to generate large numbers of backcross fertile hybrids of red deer and Peer David's deer is described. Genetic maps of some deer chromosomes were produced from the DNA of backcross pedigrees. The traits which seem to be suitable for genetic analysis include growth rate, gestation and head morphometrics. The limiting factors of the experiment appear to be perinatal and fetal viability.

Genetic roots of the red deer (Cervus elaphus) population in Eastern Switzerland

Article Abstract:

The red deer in Eastern Switzerland became extinct in the second half of the 17th century due to overhunting. An analysis of samples from eastern Swiss red deer population to determine their genetic origin revealed Liechtenstein as the most probable source, while gene flow and high genetic admixture of 18 microsatellite loci are discussed.
