Abstract

HERNANDEZ-HURTADO, P.S. et al. Effect of three diets on growth of hatchlings of american crocodile Crocodylus acutus. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2012, vol.61, n.234, pp.313-316. ISSN 1885-4494.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0004-05922012000200018.

The effect of three diets with replacement of marine fish (20 and 40%) for beef liver in the growth and survival, and the effect of temperature on feed intake of young Crocodylus acutus was studied. Crocodiles fed the 40% of liver had the highest growth and 100% survival, with potential for greater tolerance to winter conditions.

Keywords : Reptile feeding; Hatchery; Growth rate; Survival rate.
