Abstract

Parasitic infections in elephants in captivity is not well studied. Animals in captivity are susceptible to parasitic infections because they are prone to stress, which reduces their immune response. Therefore, this study aimed to identify gastrointestinal parasite infections among captive sumatran elephants in Taman Margasatwa Ragunan (TMR). A total of 86 fecal samples were obtained from 4 individual Sumatran elephants, conducted in October-December 2024. Screening of GIPs was carried out using the concentration sedimentation method. A total of 3 GIPs were recovered with the prevalence of hookworm and Balantidium coli is the highest (100%) and Strongyloides sp. (25%). Although there are some parasites found in faeces, Sumatran elephants in TMR There are no specific symptoms associated with the parasite. There is no parasite prevention and control management, such as routine monitoring or administration of anti-parasitic drugs to elephants at TMR. Management and control of parasitic infections needs to be improved to prevent the infection from getting worse and suppress parasite transmission.

Abstract

Primates living in cages are highly susceptible to parasitic infections. Assessing the level of parasitic infection in endangered animals is important to support animal welfare and develop conservation strategies. The infection status of endoparasites in Javan gibbons has been little reported. This study aimed to identify endoparasites and their prevalence in Javan gibbons in Taman Margasatwa Ragunan (TMR). Fecal samples (N=80) were collected from 4 individual Javan gibbons (1 adult male, 2 adult females, and 1 infant male) in October-December 2024. Fecal samples were preserved with 10% formalin solution and analyzed by the formalin-ethyl acetate sedimentation method. As a result, eggs of the order Strongylida, order Rhabditida (Strongyloides sp.), and order Enoplida (Trichuris trichiura) were found. Adult males were positively infected with worms of the Strongylida order, whereas infant males were infected with Strongyloides sp. and T. trichiura with a prevalence of 25%. The endoparasites found in this study are common in captive and wild Javan gibbons. To prevent an increase in infection, direct contact between humans (keepers/visitors) and Javan gibbons should be strictly prevented. This information is useful in developing a health management program for Javan gibbons in TMR as well as completing information related to endoparasites in Javan gibbons in cages.

Abstract

Rescue, rehabilitation, and release is one of the strategies for orangutan conservation. Jerora Forest School, Sintang Orangutan Center, West Kalimantan, is a place to rehabilitate orangutan. One of the criteria for orangutan to be ready for release is the ability to build nests. The objective of this study was to analyze the nest building ability and nest characteristic preferences of four pre-release female bornean orangutans (Jamilah, Penai, Joss, and Bondan) in Jerora Forest School. Data was collected in November 2024 to January 2025 using the focal animal sampling, ad libitum sampling, and continuous recording methods. Three out of four female pre-release bornean orangutans (Jamilah, Joss, and Bondan) are categorized as moderate on their ability to build nest, while Penai is less capable. Nest trees used by the juvenile orangutan are more diverse than the ones used by the adult orangutan. The characteristics of the nests used by the research subjects were relatively similar across each age group. Nest trees used by the juvenile orangutans are more diverse than the ones used by the adult orangutans. Based on the nest building observation, Jamilah, Joss, and Bondan are ready to be released, while Penai is not ready to be released yet.

Abstract

Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) in captivity require time to be released in order to survive in their natural habitat. This study aims to analyze the daily behavior of orangutans awaiting release at the Jerora Forest School, Sintang Orangutan Center, West Kalimantan. The study was conducted using a focused animal observation method with 5-minute intervals without breaks and without time restrictions. Observations were made on two female orangutans, Jamilah (24 years old) and Penai (21 years old). The results of the data analysis showed that Jamilah's feeding behavior occurred in the enclosure (41.89%) and cage (38.49%), while Penai's feeding behavior occurred in the enclosure (31.41%) and cage (41.22%). The least frequent behavior was playing, with Jamilah playing in the enclosure (4.87%) and cage (3.95%) and Penai playing in the enclosure (4.02%) and cage (3.84%). Jamilah's arboreal movement behavior was 62% and Penai's was 82%. The observation results indicate that Jamilah is more ready for release than Penai based on the orangutan release readiness criteria cited from the Orangutan Conservation and Reintroduction Workshop in 2002.
