Pansenfehlgärung und Lösungsansätze bei der Handaufzucht einer verwaisten Beira-Antilope (Dorcatragus megalotis)

Within the last 11 years several Beira antelope fawns (Dorcatragus megalotis) had been hand reared for several reasons at Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation (AWWP) in Qatar (Abb. 1). Hand rearing Beira antelopes is usually not more difficult than hand rearing any other small antelope species as long as no complications occur. The following case report describes the problems that occurred while artificially rearing an orphaned Beira fawn as well as our approach to a solution.
