Jenis dan Kandungan Tanin Pakan Satwa Anoa (Bubalus sp.)
Abstract: Study of kinds and
tannin content of diets consumed by anoa is limited. This information is very
important and necessary for anoa domestication. The aims of this research were
to obtain information on kinds and tannin content of anoa diets. The research
was conducted in forest of Pangi Binangga nature reserve and Lore Lindu
National Park, province of Central Sulawesi in March to November 2009.
Digestive content analyses method was used to study the kinds of diets consumed
by anoa. Chromatography was used for tannin analysis. Results of the digestive
content analysis found ten kinds of anoa diets, i.e. Ficus miquelly, Caryota
mitis, Ficus ampelas, Syzigium sp., Cordia mixab, Paspalum conjugatum, Smilax
leocophylla, Saccarum spontaneum, Isachne globosa and Imperata cylindrica. The
proportion of the diets were 60%, 45%, 35%, 17%, 12%, 10%, 8%, 8%, 5%, and 4%,
respectively. Three of six diets namely Ficus miquelly, Saccarum spontaneum and
Isachne globosa contained low tannin. The tannin content of three diets was
0.34%, 0.61%, and 0.99%, respectively. It is concluded that anoa in forest
prefer diets that contain low tannin, such as Ficus fruits, shoots of shrubs.
