野生仔鬣羚的人工育幼

Hand-rearing of Wild Young Serow Capricornis sumatraensis

为了给野生动物的人工育幼和鬣羚的人工育幼提供可借鉴的基础资料,对1只野生雌性幼鬣羚（Capricornis sumatraensis）成功地进行了人工育幼,在喂养的前3个月中,对其饲喂方法进行试验,并记录其体重、体长生长状况及体温、呼吸、心律等一些基本数据。结果表明,幼鬣羚在2个月时断奶为好;幼鬣羚体温在37.9-39.6℃之间变化为正常;在育幼过程中每日平均增重为177 g,最大增重为每日增长433 g;在人工饲养过程中要注意补钙。

A wild young serow Capricornis sumatraensis was artificially fed successfully. Feed methods were discussed and some basic data of body condition, body temperature, breath, heart rhythm were recorded during the first three feeding months. Results showed that ablactation had been carried out when the young serow were two months old; it was normal that its body temperatures change within 37.9 - 39.6 ℃ ;its weight increased 177 g/d averagely, and the maximal increase was 433 g/d; calcium was needed during the feeding.
