This study aimed to assess the association between fertility and the number of fetuses of free-ranging concentrate-supplemented white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus, texanus, Mearns 1898) from northern Mexico (27 °N) with body measurements and serum metabolites indicative of nutritional status. We studied 119 female deer (31 yearlings and 88 adults) captured in January 2021 using a net gun fired from a helicopter. Ultrasound scanning showed 100 and 97.8 % pregnancy rate and 1.52 ± 0.51 and 1.50 ± 0.59 fetuses/pregnant doe for yearlings and adult does, respectively, with no difference (p > 0.05) between age classes Thoracic circumference (cm) was higher (85.9 ± 4.9 vs. 84.1 ± 4.2; p = 0.039) for does carrying twins vs. singles. None of the serum metabolites indicative of nutritional status affected the fetal number of pregnant does. It was concluded that free-ranging white-tailed deer receiving concentrate supplementation in winter on a semi-arid rangeland has a high reproductive potential. Also, these results indicate that variation in maternal age within this population was not a significant driver of reproductive metrics of white-tailed deer. The plane of nutrition used in the present study was reflected in adequate serum metabolites indicative of nutritional status. Also, thoracic circumference may have prognostic value as a physical marker of multiple fetuses in female white-tailed deer.
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la asociación entre la fertilidad y el número de fetos de venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus texanus, Mearns 1898) en agostadero en el norte de México (27 °N) y suplementado con concentrado, con medidas corporales y metabolitos séricos indicativos del estado nutricional. Estudiamos 119 (31 de un año y 88 adultas) venadas cola blanca capturadas en enero de 2021 con una red disparada con cañón desde un helicóptero. La ecografía mostró una tasa de preñez de 100 y 97.8 % y 1.52 ± 0.51 y 1.50 ± 0.59 fetos/venada gestante para animales de un año y adultas, respectivamente, sin diferencias (p > 0.05) entre las clases de edad. La circunferencia torácica (cm) fue mayor (85.9 ± 4.9 vs. 84.1 ± 4.2; p = 0.039) para venadas con gestaciones múltiples que para venadas gestando un solo feto. Ninguno de los metabolitos séricos indicativos del estado nutricional afectó el número de fetos de las venadas preñadas. Concluimos que las venadas cola blanca suplementadas con concentrado en invierno en un pastizal semiárido tienen un alto potencial reproductivo. Además, estos resultados indican que la variación en la edad materna dentro de esta población no afectó las variables reproductivas del venado cola blanca. El plano de nutrición utilizado en el presente estudio se reflejó en metabolitos séricos adecuados indicativos del estado nutricional. Además, la circunferencia torácica puede tener valor como marcador físico de fetos múltiples en venadas cola blanca.
