Studi Aklimatisasi Heosemys spinosa di Area Konservasi Ex-situ Universitas Bengkulu

Abstract

This study aimed to know: a) feed composition suitable for the growth of H. spinosa, b) physiological conditions of H. spinosa during the acclimatization, c) physical conditions of H. spinosa during the acclimatization, d) abiotic component in ex-situ conservation area. The research method used is experimental. The results showed that: a) The rate of body weight growth in the 100% M. paradisiaca (P2) feeding group was higher than rate of body weight growth growth in the 50% C. papaya: 50% M. paradisiaca (P3) and 100% C. papaya (P1) feeding group, b) the were no abnormalities physical condition of the feeding group 100% M. paradisiaca (P2) and 100% C. papaya (P1), c) No egg or parasite was found in the stool of 100% M. paradisiaca feeding group (P2). There was Ascaris lumbricoides eggs found in the stool of 50% C. papaya: 50% M. paradisiaca feeding group (P3) and 100% C. papaya feeding group (P1), d) soil pH in Ex-situ Conservation Area University of Bengkulu is 6,5 (fertile soil type). Soil temperature in Ex-situ Conservation Area University of Bengkulu is 29-29,5•C. Air humidity in Ex-situ Conservation Area University of Bengkulu is 64-79%.
