H. Marquès, E. Albanell, M.D. BaucellsDiet selection by the White-naped Pheasant Pigeon Otidiphaps nobilisaruensis at the Barcelona ZooPresented at the Joint Nutrition Symposium at Antwerp, Belgium, 2002AbstractOtidiphaps nobilis aruensis is a Columbiforme endemic to Aru Isle (south-west of New Guinea). There is verylittle information about the biology and wild status of this subspecies, and it is poorly represented in captivity.This study was performed with 11 pheasant pigeons born at the Barcelona Zoo. The aim of this study was todetermine (1) the main components of the diet consumed by the captive population of white-naped pheasantpigeons at the Barcelona Zoo and (2) some of the factors that could have an influence on their diet selection. Anintake study was performed for 14 days and samples of the diet offered and refused by the birds were collected forproximate and crude energy analyses. Due to the small sample size, there was a great variability amongindividuals. However, only the age and the origin of the birds had significant effects on some of the dependentvariables (diet items, nutrient and water intake). It was also found that the white-naped pheasant pigeons selecteda diet with a great percentage of grains, with an average nutrient composition of 18.9% crude protein, 8 % fat,4.6 % crude fiber and 5.4 % ash. The protein intake per animal was 4.16 g per day, showing that the animalswere ingesting a diet that covered the estimated requirement found in the literature. Similarly, according to theestimation formulas and the suggested energy requirements for maintenance from several authors it was foundthat the pheasant pigeons consumed 133 kcal of metabolic energy (ME) per kg of body weight (BW)0,75 daily,which equalled 1.7 times the estimated basal metabolic rate (BMR), and thus were meeting their estimated energyneeds.Key wordspheasant pigeon, diet selection, protein intake, energy intake-click here to go back to the index-

J.-M. Hatt1Digesta kinetics in feral pigeons(Columba livia)Presented at the Joint Nutrition Symposium at Antwerp, Belgium, 2002AbstractThe experiment was conducted to determine the digesta kinetics of liquid phase and particles in feral pigeons(Columba livia). All animals were individually caged. Mean retention times (MRT) were estimated in seven adultpigeons (bodyweight 275–320 g) fed a pulse dose of Co-EDTA (Co 8 mg/animal), Cr-mordanted fibre (Cr 1mg/animal, particle size 2 mm) and the n-alkane hexatriacontane (C36 3 mg/animal, as labelled food pellets).Individual samples were collected every 1 ½ h for 12 hours and one more sample was collected 24 h after markerapplication. Average MRT for the liquid phase marker Co was 5.3 h ( 3.18). For the particle phase markers Crand C36, MRT was 6.8 h ( 2.87) and 8.4 h ( 3.25), respectively. Transit time (TT) was 1 h in all birds. Theretention times of all three markers differed significantly. This is surprising since it as expected that the particlemarkers would not differ in their kinetic behaviour. Possible explanations are discussed in relation to the biologyof pigeonsKey WordsBirds; Digestion; Marker; Mean retention time-click here to go back to the index-

G.P.J. Janssens, B. Geeroms, M. Bürkle,M. Reinschmidt, G. WerquinBody condition and breeding success of nectarivorous parrots at LoroParque Fundación as affected by dilution degree of nectar food andpollen supplementationPresented at the Fourth European Zoo Nutrition Conference, Leipzig, 2005AbstractNectarivorous parrots in captivity are commonly fed commercial nectar foods. Their dilution level can affectvoluntary energy intake which can alter body condition in the long run. Besides nectar, pollen are alsoconsidered as a main ingredient in the diet of nectarivorous parrots, but specific information is scarce. Thepresent study aimed to investigate the effect of nectar food dilution and pollen addition on body condition, bodyweight and reproductive performance in the practical feeding of a nectarivorous parrot collection. Nectarivorousparrots in the collection at Loro Parque Fundación were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments: two groupswere fed ad libitum a commercial nectar food at a dilution in water of either 1/3 (v/w) or 1/4 (v/w). Half of eachgroup also received pollen in their diet at an inclusion rate of 1/5 (w:w on undiluted nectar food basis).Measurements of body weight and body condition score were taken at day 0 and day 100. The difference inweight change was not significant between groups. Yet, body condition score increased with the 1:3 dilutionwhereas it decreased with the 1:4 dilution. Differences between sexes and the feeding of pollen did not reach thelevel of significance. Some breeding results were numerically better in the pollen-fed birds, but failed to reach thelevel of statistical significance. In conclusion, an appropriate dilution degree of nectar food might be a usefultool to prevent aberrant body condition like obesity in nectarivorous parrots.Key WordsPsittacidae, nectar, body weight-click here to go back to the index-

D. McDonaldIron storage disease and commercially formulated bird foods: is excessvitamin A implicated?Presented at the Joint Nutrition Symposium at Antwerp, Belgium, 2002AbstractIron storage disease is prevalent in many frugivorous and insectivorous birds maintained on commerciallyformulated foods. Various factors have been implicated in the development of this disease including geneticpredisposition, immunological stress, viruses and nutrition. In this contribution, various nutritional factors ofcommercial birds foods are reviewed, including the generally high vitamin A content of many products.Keywordsiron storage, commercial bird foods, vitamin A-click here to go back to the index-

G.J.D.L. WerquinHepatic haemosiderosis in birds: nutritional composition and stressmechanisms may contribute to the development of the disease: areviewPresented at the Fourth European Zoo Nutrition Conference, Leipzig, 2005AbstractAlthough the exact pathogenesis of haemosiderosis in frugivorous birds has not been elucidated, there is acommon concensus that dietary iron load should be restricted. However, current recommendations for totaldietary iron are mostly empirical and disregard differences in bio-availability. This paper describes the differentchemical forms of iron and their biological availability. Other dietary components (tannins, phytic acid, fibers,ascorbic acid, organic acids, minerals) significantly influence the bio-availiability of the iron in the food and areat least as important. Also stress and immunological reactions may induce iron accumulation in the liver: incontrast to mammals, stress stimulates iron absorption from the intestine and may initiate haemosiderosis inbirds.Key wordsIron storage disease, Iron availibility, tannin, phytic acid, Immune mechanisms, transferring-click here to go back to the index-

T.R. Huisman, A. de Boer, S. van Hall, P. Veenvliet, J. GoversDiet of captive short-tailed leaf-nosed bats (Carollia perspicillata): theneed for caution with feed supplementsPresented at the Joint Nutrition Symposium at Antwerp, Belgium, 2002AbstractThis paper presents the results of a limited case-study into diet related causes of iron accumulation in the liver ofcaptive short-tailed leaf-nosed bats (Carollia perspicillata) in Artis Zoo. Results based on diet analysis andcalculation with nutritional software show that dietary iron content was higher than recommended for variousfrugivorous species. It is also shown that over 90 % of the iron in the diet is contri-buted by multivitamin andmultimineral supplements. The results of an additional diet survey indicate that this is the case in other zoos aswell.KeywordsFruit bats, Carollia perspicillata, diet, iron, dietary supplements-click here to go back to the index-

M. Clauss, T. Hänichen, J. Hummel, U. Ricker, K. Block,P. Grest, J.-M. HattExcessive iron storage in captive omnivores? The case of the coati(Nasua spp.)Presented at the Fourth European Zoo Nutrition Conference, Leipzig, 2005AbstractWe collated necropsy reports for 13 coatis (Nasua spp.), revealing four cases of moderate and six cases ofmassive iron deposition in liver tissue. This survey corroborates an earlier report that noted a high frequency ofiron deposits in coatis at necropsy. A comparison of the reported natural diet of coatis and the usually fed captivediets revealed that whereas vertebrate products (dog/cat food, prey items) represent the staple diet items forcaptive individuals, free-ranging coatis only rarely consume vertebrate prey; their natural diet is dominated bywild fruits and invertebrates. This discrepancy should be reflected in high levels of readily available heme iron incaptive diets, with little or no heme iron in the natural diets. Therefore, it could be hypothesized that the use ofvertebrate products in animals not adapted to such high levels of readily available heme iron could be a cause fordietary iron overload. Further studies on the relevance of excessive iron storage in omnivores/insectivores, andtheir etiopathology, are indicated.Key Wordsiron storage disease, hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, coati, insectivore, omnivore, heme iron, meat,shrew, tenrec-click here to go back to the index-

C. Schwitzer, K. Klumpe, W. KaumannsEnergy and nutrient intake, feeding behaviour and activity budget ofcaptive Douc langurs (Pygathrix n. nemaeus)Presented at the Joint Nutrition Symposium at Antwerp, Belgium, 2002AbstractDouc langurs are very difficult to keep in captivity, which is mainly due to nutrition-related problems. This studyaims at providing first quantitative data on the nutrition and feeding behaviour of captive douc langurs, thussupporting the development of suitable diets for colobines in captivity. Individual food intake was recordedquantitatively over a period of three months in nine captive individuals. Nutrient and energy concentrations of theconsumed diets were calculated and compared to results from relevant studies of other colobine species.Determinants which might influence food intake in the study groups were assessed, and an activity budget wasestablished. The animals spent 54 % of daily observation time with resting and sleeping, and 23 % with feeding.The diet consumed by the langurs consisted of 33 % vegetables, 21 % leaves, 21 % fruit, 12 % salad and 14 %other food items. A low crude fibre content of the captive diet was obvious when compared to the diets of wildcolobines, whereas the protein content was similar in captive and wild diets. The amount of energy consumed byany of the studied douc langurs was lower than the calculated energy requirement. The different foodstuffsdiffered in their acceptance by the animals. Leaves always had the highest amounts of leftovers. A greaterdiversity of leaves offered, however, correlated with a higher leaf intake. The results are discussed with regard tothe presumably sub-optimal energy intake of the studied douc langurs. The fact that a considerable proportion ofthe offered leaves was not consumed might be indicative of leaf quality (palatability, taste etc.) not matching withthe requirements of the langurs.Key wordsFolivory, body weight, energy requirement, leaf quality,leaf species diversity-click here to go back to the index-

C. Otto, W. KaumannsNutrient composition of leaves consumed by captive and semi-freeranging Douc langurs (Pygathrix nemaeus)Presented at the Fourth European Zoo Nutrition Conference, Leipzig, 2005AbstractThis paper presents results of a study on food and nutrient intake in captive and semi-free Douc langurs Pygathrixnemaeus spp., which was carried out at Cologne Zoo and at the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, Vietnam.Leaf diets of captive and semi-free Douc langurs were investigated. Information is given on food plant species, aswell as on the nutrient composition of a large spectrum of food plant species’ leaves (crude protein, crude ash,selected minerals – calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, copper, iron, manganese, zinc –, andfibre – neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, acid detergent lignin. In general, leaves offered to Douclangurs at Cologne Zoo had numerically a higher crude protein and phosphorus and a lower fibre, calcium, andcopper content than leaves used in the Vietnamese rescue center.Key wordsfood plant, protein/fibre ratio, Leguminosae-click here to go back to the index-

J. Nijboer, M. Clauss, H. Everts, A.C. BeynenEffect of dietary fibre on the faeces score in colobine monkeys at DutchzoosPresented at the Fourth European Zoo Nutrition Conference, Leipzig, 2005AbstractIn captivity colobine monkeys often display a soft to watery faecal consistency, in contrast to their wildconspecifics, which usually display well-formed faeces. It has been suggested that dietary fibre, and possibly alsodietary water content is related to faecal consistency. To further test this assumption we pooled data on 15individual feeding periods from six feeding trials with colobine monkeys from
