Introduction. The grasscutter (Thryonomys swinderianus, Temminck 1827) is a hystricomorph rodent whose breeding in close captivity grows increasingly in West and Central Africa for both food speculation and wildlife resource management [1-5].In fact, grasscutter meat is highly valued by African game consumers, whether urban or rural for …

The grasscutter (Thyronomys swinderianus) is found throughout the African continent south of the Sahara. Several countries incorrectly attribute the name 'agouti' to it, arid it has several dialect names: 'kibondo' in Kiswahili, 'simbiliki' in Lingala, and 'zibizi'' in Kimushi Its meat is very much in demand, partly perhaps because the species is quite rare.
