The urgency of the thesis The Common Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus Pallas, 1777) belongs to the Viverridae family, carnivora (Carnivora). This animal is widely distributed in Central, South and Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, the civets are widely distributed across the country [7]. Hunting and use of civet taps for different purposes such as meat, leather, fur, aromatherapy, used in the production of weasel coffee along with their declining habitat are depleting this species in nature [2, 8]. Preserving and storing genetic resources is one of the urgent, regular and long-term solutions [9]. In order to sustainably preserve livestock gene sources, the exploitation and development of genetic resources is an effective solution [10]. Therefore, in Vietnam, successfully built many breeding civet farms. The civet farming in addition to bringing high economic efficiency to the farmers also helps to reduce hunting and contribute to preserving biodiversity [11]. In breeding management and improvement of the civet process, studying their biological characteristics and increasing their reproductive performance are very important. Therefore, the topic Biological characteristics and effects of gonadotropin on reproductive ability of common palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus Pallas, 1777) in captivity is carried out.2. The aims of the thesis - Identify biological characteristics, some indicators ofphysiological and biochemical blood and urine of civets in captivity. 2 - Determine the change in sex hormones of female civets andevaluate the effect of sexual stimulation on the fertility of civets incaptivity in order to preserve herd in the direction of quantitydevelopment.3. The main contents of the thesis - Study on biological characteristics (appearance, behavior,growth, reproduction) of the civets in captivity - Studying on physiological and biochemical parameters of thecivets in captivity. - Study on the change of sex hormones of the female civets incaptivity. - Study on the effect of gonadotropin (PMSG, HCG) on thereproduction of female civets. CHAPTER 1. LITERATURE OVERVIEW1.1. Overview of the common palm civets This section presents an overview of the characteristics of species,appearance, behavior, reproduction, distribution of species in nature andcurrent situation of breeding civets.1.2. Overview of research on the common palm civets This section presents research on the civets in the world and inVietnam. The studies mainly focused on the behavior, physiological andbiochemical characteristics of this species in nature, in terms of geneticdiversity and phylogeny.1.3. Overview of PMSG and HCG An overview of structure, functions, applications and studying ofthe use of PMSG and HCG in livestock.1.4. Overview of estrogen and progesterone 3 An overview of the structure and function of estrogen andprogesterone; method of extracting and identifying them through faeces. CHAPTER 2.
