Abstract

ABSTRACTFeed Consumption and Digestibility Capacity on Cuscuses (Spilocuscus maculatus and Phalanger spp.). The research was conducted to know feed consumption and digestibility capacity on cuscuses in the Small Mammal Captivity on Zoology Division, Research and Developmment Center for Biology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Bogor. The research material used were five cuscuses, each of them placed in individual cage. Species of cuscuses are Spilocuscus maculatus (two heads), Phalanger orientalis (one), P. gymnotis (one), and P. ornatus (one). The feedstuff is given in fresh form, consists of fruit, leaves, and extra feed. The fruit consists of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), banana (Musa paradisiaca), guava (Psidium guajava), coconut (Cocos nucifera), and sweet corn (Zea mays). Leaves were kemang (Mangifera caesia), pohpohan (Pilea trinervia), and kangkung (Ipomea aquatica), and sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas); while extra feed consists of bread and dog food. The result showed that the average of dry matter intake on cuscuses was 37.83 ? 6.94 g DM/kg BW0.75/head/day, while those on S. maculatus was 38.04 ? 6.25 g DM/kg BW0.75/head/day and on Phalanger spp. was 37.68 ? 7.57 g DM/kg BW0.75/day. The digestible coefficient of nutrient on cuscuses was 86.72% dry matter (DM), 66.86% ash, 69.86% crude protein, 95.51% ether extract, 73.58% crude fiber, and 92.09% nitrogen free extract. Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN) on cuscuses was 93.96 ? 3.22% and Digestible energy (DE) was 3.71 ? 0.39 kkal/g DM.Key words : Consumption, digestibility, Spilocuscus maculates, Phalanger spp., captivity

Abstract

ABSTRAKPemilihan Tumbuhan Hutan Sebagai Sumber Pakan dan Tempat Bersarang Kuskus kerdil(Strigocuscus celebensis) dan Analisa Nutrien di Pulau Wawoni, Sulawesi Tenggara. Astudy on feed plants selection and nesting site of dwarf cuscus (Strigocuscus celebensis) wasconducted in Wawonii Island, South-East Sulawesi. The study was done in the lowland forestwith the altitude of 1 - 200 m a.s.l. The results showed 45 species of plants consisting of 23families was selected by dwarf cuscus as their feed resources and 11 species of plants as theirnesting site. Parts of the feed plants being consumed were fruit, young leaves, flower, andtopmost of trunk.Keywords: Forest plant, feed resources, nesting site, Strigocuscus celebensis Wawonii Island
