Performance of The White-Rumped Shama (Copysychus malabaricus) Reproduction by Providing Eurycoma longifolia at The Captivity

Abstract

This research aims to determine the reproductive capacity of the White-Rumped Shama provided by Eurycoma longifolia in terms of duration of couple introduction or adjustment period, duration of mating period until laying eggs, number of eggs, number of hatched eggs, and number of survived baby animals until 5 days of living. The laboratory experimental method is performed in the White-Rumped Shama captivity in Bogor. Before the treatment, the birds are matched in each bird cage. The White-Rumped Shamas are divided randomly into 2 groups, each of which consists of 5 pairs (5 repetitions). The first group (K1) as a control, male magpie parents were given the treatment of drinking distilled water after fasting for one hour every morning, Group 2 (K2) as the Eurycoma longifolia treatment group, male White-Rumped Shama parents were given the optimal dose of Eurycoma longifolia, 9 mg/100 of the body weight every morning for 5 days which was converted from the results of research on the treatment of giving Eurycoma longifolia to white rats. Statistical analysis of two tailed T test, Levene's test on data between the control group (K1) and the Eurycoma longifolia group (K2) showed that; Behavior: Jumping, flying, perching on the perchs, approaching the female, chirping, singing, crouching while near to the female while making a distinctive chirp, eating and drinking, duration of time until laying eggs in the mating cage (days), number of eggs in the nest (items ). The number of hatched eggs from those hatched (grains), the number of offspring that survived to the age of 5 days (tails), there were no significant differences between the control group (K1) and the Eurycoma longifolia treatment group (K2).
