Avaliação de dietas de jaguatiricas (Leopardus pardalis) no Zoológico Sargento Prata

Abstract

Evaluation of the diet of two ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) for a period of 35 days at the Municipal Zoo Sargento Prata, located in Fortaleza-CE. The amount of food ingested per day was evaluated by the amount of stored, nutritional and estimated protein, energy, calcium, and phosphorus proteins. As a symbol was made by means of extrapolation of data of the closest species, the domestic cat (Felis catus). The feline cervical diet should be conveniently balanced with its particular attention to dietary protein levels. In general, the model of bath is approximately the plane of vision for the ocelots. Only dietary protein levels are below recommended. As the mineral proteins showed to be far above that observed for domestic animals, however, as the causes were related to the diet of the minerals in the diet.
