| For rectal massage, an operator inserted a plastic-sleeved, lubricated hand through the anal sphincter and then manually massaged the accessory glands through the mucosa of the caudal rectum. The prostate and bulbourethral ogland, which were about 10-15 cm proximally to the anal sphincter, were ... |

| Standard electrical probes used for domestic animals could not be utilized since they usually rolled in the gas-expanded rectum of the rhino. Because of this, the electrodes would inter-mittently lose contact with the rectal mucosa and therefore current could not be effectively controlled. The ... |

The reasons for the poor breeding record in captivity are unclear, but undoubtedly one of the main contributing factors is the lack of understanding of the reproductive biology of rhinoceros and of the factors required for successful reproduction.

| These are usually latex coverings filled with warm water. They provide warmth and pressure stimulation to the penis. AVs have been minimally successful in collection of semen from rhinoceroses. Lack of sustained erections in the rhinoceros has made placement of AVs difficult. Furthermore, use... |
