摘要: 在人工饲养环境下,水果是大熊猫食谱中重要的组成部分。如何有效利用当地水果资源,提高大熊猫的食谱丰富度和营养水平,是大熊猫饲养管理当地化研究的重要部分。本实验采用11种水果,对峨眉山熊猫馆的3只大熊猫进行投喂观察试验。结果表明只有3种水果被大熊猫不同程度的采食,且采食存在个体差异性。本研究为今后峨眉山熊猫馆以及其他饲养单位大熊猫食谱的优化提供了借鉴。Abstract: Fruits are important in captive giant pandas' diets.How to increase nutrition and richness by using local fruits is essential in the local feeding studies of giant pandas.In this study,3 giant pandas were fed with 8 kinds of fruits in Emei Mountain Panda House.The results revealed that there were only 3 konds of fruits preferred by giant pandas and 3 individuals also showed diversity in fruit selection.This research provided good insight into the future dietary optimization for the Emei Mountain Panda House and other breeding sites.
