Thirteen sexually mature captive male lesser Malay chevrotains (Tragulus javanicus) were each anesthetized twice with tiletamine-zolazepam for electroejaculation. Viable spermatozoa were collected from all animals. The semen was creamy, milky, pale yellowish, or watery. The mean values for ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, and percentages of sperm motility, normality and viability were 23.7 +/- 2.5 microl, 366.9 +/- 127.8 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml, 40.0% +/- 3.1%, 71.4% +/- 1.6%, and 59.6% +/- 2.1%, respectively. Semen pH was 7-8. No adverse effects of electroejaculation were noted. These are the first reported values for semen of lesser Malay chevrotain. Electroejaculation should be usable for routine semen collection in this species.
13只性成熟的圈养雄性小巽他鼷鹿（Tragulus javanicus）分别用替来他明-唑拉西泮麻醉两次以进行电射精。从所有动物身上都采集到了有活力的精子。精液呈乳脂状、乳状、淡黄色或水样。射精量、精子浓度以及精子活力、正常率和存活率的平均值分别为23.7±2.5微升、366.9±127.8×10⁶个精子/毫升、40.0%±3.1%、71.4%±1.6%和59.6%±2.1%。精液pH值为7 - 8。未观察到电射精的不良反应。这些是首次报道的小巽他鼷鹿精液的数值。电射精可用于该物种的常规精液采集。
