The Stomach of the Kafue lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 1991
SummaryThe Kafue lechwe is endemic to the Kafue Flats area of Zambia. It is semi‐aquatic in habit, feeding upon grasses above and below the waterline. The volume of the lechwe rumen is 17 L in the male and 14 L in the female. It has strong and definite pillars. The interior of the rumen is papillated except in the roof area and on the pillars.

Kobus leche leche (Red lechwe) ♂ Kobus megaceros (Nile lechwe) ♀

1977
Skin biopsy of a male from San Diego Zoo furnished the top karyotype, these cells are frozen. The female comes from the Catskill Game Farm, New York. Pairing of chromosomes is arbitrary; sex chromosomes are selected by morphology. An extensive Robertsonian mechanism appears operative in this subfamily as in other bovidae.

Habitat selection by red lechwe (Kobus leche leche Gray, 1850)

African Journal of Ecology, 1990
SummaryLechwe habitat use was studied intensively for 2.5 years and monitored for a further 7.5 years in the Linyanti Swamp, northern Botswana. It was found to be highly selective with respect to both resting and feeding sites. The selection of resting sites was probably a function of predator avoidance behaviour, while the selection of feeding sites ...

Population growth of red lechwe, Kobus leche leche Gray, in the Busanga Plain, Zambia

African Journal of Ecology, 1972
SummaryAn isolated population of red lechwe living in the Busanga Plain, Zambia, has been protected from human hunting since 1948. Probably as a result the population has increased, as indicated by reliable census data. From 1956 to 1972 this increase has very closely fitted an exponential rate; the calculated value of the infinitesimal rate of ...

Serum chemistry profiles for Lechwe waterbucks (Kobus leche): Variations with age and sex

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1993
1. Over an 8-year period, 19 biochemical parameters have been determined at various ages in the blood serum of 92 clinically healthy Lechwe waterbucks (Kobus leche), 33 males and 59 females. 2. Significant differences have been noted with age. In neonates, the lowest values of total proteins, glucose, creatinine, urea, AST, ALT and iron have been noted;

Age- and sex-related differences in haematological values of the Lechwe waterbuck (Kobus Leche)

Comparative Haematology International, 1992
During an 8-year period (1981–1989), basic haematological values were evaluated in a number of clinically healthy Lechwe Waterbucks (Kobus leche) at five development stages. A total of 34 males and 60 females were used in this study.

A REVIEW OF DISEASES OF PARASITES OF THE KAFUE LECHWE (KOBUS LECHE KAFUENSIS)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1991
The diseases of the Kafue lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis) are reviewed in this paper. Kafue lechwe are an important natural resource for Zambia. Bovine tuberculosis is widespread within the lechwe population and they are host to many parasites, especially the warble Strobiloestrous vanzyli.
