Water Birds in the Marzgrove Forest of Cimanuk River Delta

The mangrove forest in the Cimanuk delta plays an important role as feeding ground, shelter, breeding and many social activities of water birds in the northern coast of West Java. During 3 months research, 28 species of water birds were found in this delta and 12 species of them are migrant water birds. Illegal hunting, destruction of the mangrove forest and intensive use of pestisides and insectisides in the fish ponds in this delta threaten the population of the water birds

The Nutritional Requirement of Anoa

The objective of the study was to obtain the food preference, food intake, digestibility and the protein requirement of anoa. Two kind of fwd (ration) were offered to the animal in Ragunan Zoo: the single ration of Pennisetum purpureum and the mixed grasses of Pennisetum purpureum. Cyrtococcum patens, Mikania cordata and Costus speciocus with the composition of 25 %, respectively. The result showed that the daily food intake of anoa in the zoo was 4.49-7.03 kg (average 5.98 kg) for Pennisetum purpereurn and 6.74-10.33 kg (average 8.12 kg) for the mixed grasses. Based on the body weight, the food intake of the animals was 8.34 % to 11.54 %. The animals showed the higher preference for feeding on the mixed grasses. The food digestibility was 92 % - 96.68 % for Pennisetum purpureum and 82.88% - 92.71 % for the mixed grasses. Protein requirment of the animals were 15.20-29.72 gr per day. The high preference on the mixed grasses has closely related to the natural habit of the animals that consume a varity of plants. This animals showed preference as browser than grazers

SLEEPING TREE PREFERENCE OF SIAMANG IN THE BUFFER ZONE OF DOLOK SIBUAL-BUALI NATURE RESERVE

Sleeping trees are one of the important components in the siamang habitat as an arboreal primate. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics and preferences of the siamang sleeping tree and the parameters that influence it. This research was conducted in the buffer zone of the Dolok Sibual-buali Nature Reserve, North Sumatra from April to May 2022. Data collection was carried out by direct observation, recording, and measurement. The characteristics of the siamang sleeping tree generally include three parameters, namely biotic, physical, and anthropogenic activity factors. There are 12 species of trees identified as siamang sleeping trees. Based on the results of PCA, obtained 6 parameters that have the most influence on the selection of siamang sleeping trees, namely activity from cultivated land, the canopy vertical length, NDVI, distance from feeding plants, distance from settlements, and slope direction. Siamang in habitats that intersect with anthropogenic activity based on the Neu index tends to prefer the location of sleeping trees with a distance of 222,9 – 268,71 m from cultivated land and 1573,5 – 1904,29 m from settlements.    Key words: Characteristics, preference, sleeping tree, siaman

The Time Budget of Javan Deer (Rusa timorensis, Blainville 1822) in Panaitan Island, Ujung Kulon National Park, Banten, Indonesia

Javan deer that exist in Panaitan Island was reintroduced from Peucang Island during 1978-1982. We observed behavior of the reintroduced Javan deer inhabiting Panaitan Island. Javan deer in this island spent most of their diurnal time for feeding. There were no significant differences between all age-sex variation for all activities pattern. The behavior of Javan deer was influenced by age, sex, social group, temperature, and food availability

PROSPEK PENGGUNAAN Sarcocystis singaporensis UNTUK PENGENDALIAN BIOLOGIS POPULASI TIKUS SAWAH (Rattus argentiventer) (Prospect of Sarcocystis singaporensis for the Biological Control of Rice Field Rats (Rattus argentiventer) Population)

Rice field rats are important pests of paddy crop in Indonesia, because many unsuccessful paddy crop attacked by rats. Many rodenticide types are produced, especially chemical rodenticide type the actually effect of unfavourable to environment. Biological rodenticide types (bio rodenticide) are still developed slimmest even still very rare, though bio rodenticide types are environmental friendliness. Bio rodenticide type that developed by PPPG Pertanian is using Sarcocystis singaporensis, that is a specific parasite microorganism type lives in rats body. S. singaporensis reproduces sexually in the intestine of reticulated python (Pyhton reticulatus) and transmitted via faeces (in form of sporocyst) to various rats species (Jaekel, 2001). In rats body, the parasite multiplies inside the cell of blood vessel until it forms cyst in muscle, causing rats become death. This parasite not endanger both for human being and also snake. Dosage of S. singaporensis in killing male and also female rice field rats do not related by the age class of rats. The effect on giving Sarcocystis singaporensis on day of death to female rice field rats do not related by the age class of rats, however day of death of the young male rats has quicker than adult rats.Key words : Sarcocystis singaporensis, rodenticide, biological rodenticide, Rattus argentiventer
