Effects of Arachis glabrata Substitution to Pennisetum purpurum on the Ovulations'Number and the Prenatal Mortalities in Adult Guinea-pig Cavia porcellus L. In order to study the effects of Pennisetum purpurum substitution by Arachis glabrata on the ovulations' number and the prenatal mortalities in guinea-pigs, 36 animals including 30 females and 6 males were divided into 3 identical groups. To each group were randomly allotted one of the three diets characterised by its substitution level. The number of ovulation (2.20 ± 0.30), identical between the two rations with less legumes forage has been higher compared to the diet containing the greatest quantity of legume (2.00 ± 0.40). Only the group of guinea-pigs fed with a ration including the second highest level of forage legume recorded one prenatal mortality, which represented 4.20% of formed zygotes.
