| description | The whitethroat woodrat (Neotoma albigula) is used for human consumption in rural communities of the Altiplano Potosino-Zacatecano. Current methods for harvesting this rodent species however, reduce its populations and destroys its habitat. From 1993 to 1995, a study was carried out in captivity at the Colegio de Postgraduados (Campus San Luis Potosi). This study had the objective to determine some reproductive characteristics and to set up a sustainable production system. The particular objectives were: 1) to determinethe estrous cycle based in cellular changes of vaginal epithelium; and 2) to describe their reproductive behavior. In average, the estrous cycle lasted 5.21 days x the number of estrus per rat in a 30 d period was 4.6. The male remained 25 s over the female in each mount and the average between mounts was 4.8 min. Between 2 a 5 mounts were registered each time the animals were observed. |

La rata magueyera (Neotoma albigula) se usa como alimento en las comunidades rurales del Altiplano Potosino-Zacatecano. Las formas de captura de este roedor disminuyen sus poblaciones y destruyen continuamente su hábitat. Para revertir esta tendencia destructiva y proponer otras formas de su aprovechamiento, en el Colegio de Postgraduados (Campus San Luis Potosí), se hizo de 1993 a 1995 el presente estudio con los siguientes objetivos: 1) determinar el ciclo estral de la rata magueyera con base en cambios celulares de su epitelio vaginal y 2) describir su conducta asociada a la reproducción. El ciclo estral se presentó en promedio cada 5.21 días y el número de estros por rata, en 30 días, fue de 4.6. El macho montó a la hembra de dos a cinco veces cada 4.8 minutos y permaneció sobre ella 25 segundos.
