STUDI TENTANG BIOLOGI REPRODUKSI DAN KEBUTUHAN PAKAN KANCIL YANG DIPELIHARA DI PENANGKARAN.
Abstract
kebutuhan pakan hewan kancil (Tragulus javanicus) telah dilaksanakan di Fakultas PeternakanUniversitas Brawijaya Malang. Enam ekor kancil betina dan dua ekor kancil jantan digunakan
untuk observasi lama dan siklus berahi, tanda-tanda dan lama kebuntingan, sedangkan untuk
pengukuran kebutuhan pakan digunakan tiga ekor kancil jantan yang ditempatkan di kandang
individu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan heat detector berupa pagar
pemisah antara jantan dan betina adalah sangat efektif untuk mendeteksi berahi. Teknik
penggunaan air accu juga cukup efektif untuk deteksi kebuntingan kancil di lapangan. Lama
dan siklus berahi kancil secara berturut-turut adalah 35 hari dan 16 jam, sedangkan lama
kebuntingan adalah sekitar 133 hari. Konsumsi bahan kering kancil adalah berkisar antara 3,0
sampai 3,36% dari bobot badan. Pemberian pakan kering berupa konsentrat perlu
ditambahkan pada pakan sayuran secara perlahan-lahan untuk meningkatkan pasokan protein.

ABSTRACT
An experiment aiming for studying reproductive biology and nutrient requirements of
lesser mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus) was conducted at Faculty of animal Husbandry,
Brawijaya University Malang. Six female and two male lesser mouse deer were used in
determining nutrient requirements. The results showed that the use of fence barrier as heat
detector is efficient and the use of inozied water of car battery as a mean for detecting
pregnancy in the field is also efficient. Heat duration and cycle of lesser mouse deer in
captivity were found to be 35 days and 16 hours respectively, whilst pregnancy duration was
about 133 days. Dry matter (DM) consumption of lesser mouse deer ranged from 3,0 to 3,36%
of body weight. The use of dry feed to supplement vegetables offered as basal diet seems to be
important to improve protein supply to the animals.
Keywords : Heat detector, heat duration and cycle, pregnancy duration, DM consumtion.
