圈养大袋鼠的饲料探讨

Discussion of the Feeding of Captive Kangaroo

大袋鼠在中国动物园内广泛饲养,动物园普遍沿用传统的饲养经验进行饲养,没有统一的饲养标准和规范,饲喂食物品种和数量有较大差异。不同的饲喂方式导致大袋鼠的饲养效果出现明显差异。口腔疾病和肠道梗阻问题是大袋鼠饲养中较常出现的疾病,为大袋鼠的饲养带来了困难。本文根据国内外大袋鼠的饲养资料文献,结合南京市红山森林动物园饲养实践,从大袋鼠的饮食习性、基础日粮、饲喂方法、大袋鼠对水的需求等4个方面对圈养条件下大袋鼠的饲料情况进行了分析和探讨。

Kangaroo is widely raised in China zoos.Most of zoos still feed kangaroo based on traditional experience,without unified standard,and the material and quantity varies widely.The effects of different feeding methods show obvious differences in kangaroo health.Oral diseases and intestinal obstruction are common among captive kangaroo,and both complicate approaches to feeding.For this paper,international and domestic lectures on kangaroo feeding were reviewed,and we combined this information with our practice of kangaroo feeding at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo.The feeding of captive kangaroo is analyzed here and discussed regarding feeding habit,basic ration,feeding method,and water requirement.
