Space Utiliztion and Behaviours of Sumatran Slow Loris (Nycticebus Coucang Boddaert, 1785) in Pematang Siantar Zoo

Ex-situ conservation is important for animal conservation, one of kind of conservation organization is zoo. One of the factor who must be consider by conservation organization is cage management. The kind of wildlife species who need to be conserve in ex-situ conservation is Sumatran slow loris (Nycticebus coucang). This species listed as endangered by IUCN Redlist. The aims of this study are to assessspace utilization and behavioral of sumatran slow loris in Pematang Siantar Zoo. The method was used are direct observation, interview and focal animal sampling. The higher percentage of male sumatran slow loris behavior is self active behavior, while female sumatran slow loris is sleep behavior. The higher space utilization by male sumatran slow loris in zone top 1, while female zone 2 top

Pendugaan Jenis Kelamin Menggunakan Ciri-ciri Morfologi Dan Perilaku Harian Pada Gelatik Jawa (Padda Oryzivora Linn, 1758) Di Penangkaran

Java sparrow is endemic species to Java, Bali and Bawean Island, but now introduced widely to Southeast Asia region and Srilangka. The species now scarce as a result of massive capture for the pet trade. A research on sex determination using morphological characteristics and daily behaviour of Java sparrow was carried out on May-July 2005 at Bogor. 12 unsexed individuals of Java sparrow were used in this observation. The birds put in two separate cages. The research resulted that sexing error of the sample sparrows using morphological characteristics was only 16.7%. Daily activity pattern of male and female birds was not much difference, but the male tends to be more active than female. Among its behaviour, twitter was the only characteristic which distinguish sex of the sparrows

Habituasi Pada Rusa Totol (Axis Axis Erxleben, 1777) Di Penangkaran Dengan Panggilan, Warna Pakaian Dan Urin (Habituation of Axis Deer – Axis Axis Erxleben, 1777 in Captive Breeding by Calling, Clothes Colour and Urine)

The experiment was carried out to study habituation of axis deer in captive by calling, urine and clothes colour. Fifteen individuals of axis deer (7 males and 8 females) were used to test the effect of calling, urine and clothes color to adaptation and habituation of deer, using factorial with simple ramdom design. Four colorurs of keeper wear were tested in this experiment i.e. green, red, black and yellow. Calling treatment was conduted by keeper sound using tape recorder. To test the effect of urine was conducted by adding feed with the keepr\u27s urine. The deers was classified into two age groups (adult, sub adult and adolescent) and sex (male and female). Distance between deer to keeper was used to determine the effect of treatment. Result of research showed that deers were positive response to the calling, colour of clothes and urine adding in the food by moving to near the keeper. Red colour of clothes were better response than the others. According to the age-classes of deer, research showed that adult female deers were faster adapt than the others. In conclusion, treatment by using calling (sound), red colour of clothes and added of urine into deer\u27s food were positive to faster of adaptation and habituation process of deers in captivity

Pengaruh Pengunjung Terhadap Perilaku Dan Pola Konsumsi Rusa Timor (Rusa Timorensis De Blainville 1822) Di Penangkaran Hutan Penelitian Dramaga

Timor deer (Rusa timorensis de Blainville 1822) known as java deers are native Indonesian fauna, mostly found ex situ. Deers in captivity can be an attraction object of tourism. The research was conducted from March to April 2013 at Dramaga Research Forest, Situ Gede Village, Bogor City. Dramaga research forest was build on 1956 as an arboretum with 127 tree species. The purpose of this research was to identify deer feed given by visitors in captivity, changes in behavior and consumption patterns. The feed given by visitors to deer was about 89% convolvulus, 8% carrots, 2% leaves, and 1% wild grasses. The feed meets the basic needs of a deer with convolvulus containing 8,93% protein and carrots containing 19,99% protein. The results of statistical test by chi-square indicate that no real influence on the behavior and consumption patterns of the deers in captivity, but nominally show some changes decrease of persentation. Consumption pattern and social behaviour increased, while resting, locomotion, and ruminational behaviours decreased
