摘要: The captive population of Pygmy slow loris ( Nycticebus pygmaeus) in European zoos is managed by a Endangered Species Programme (EEP). However, there are so far no available nutrient recommendations for this species. With the consent Prosimian Taxon Advisory Group (TAG), nutrition questionnaire was circulated to 39 EEP participants asking about ingredients their N. pygmaeus diets, presentation, and related health issues. Only 16 replied (41%), 15 which included adequate nutritional information. replies revealed that diets practice reflect lack guidelines not based on research evidence an exudativore, feeding gum, nectar insects. Therefore none reported appropriate or conducive optimum welfare. Nutrition essential improve husbandry all lorisid taxa kept zoos.
