海南坡鹿(Cervus eldi hainanus)(下简称坡鹿,the eld's deer)是热带稀有鹿种一坡鹿(Cervus eldi)的4个亚种之一,国家一级保护动物,具有极高的生态和经济价值。由上世纪70年代的26头发展到现在约1200头坡鹿野生种群栖息在海南大田国家级自然保护区1314 hm~2的围栏内。目前围栏内坡鹿种群密度(population density)已超过0.9头/hm~2,在每年长达近8个月的旱季,饲草植物生长受阻,坡鹿面临巨大的营养压力。围栏是保护坡鹿的有效措施,但坡鹿的喜栖地是农牧业的重要地带,不可能一味地依靠增加围栏面积来保护和发展坡鹿。大田保护区和国家林业设计院拟订的《海南坡鹿拯救工程总体规划》强调,在围栏内以半散放饲养管理(feedingmanagement of semi-captive)作为坡鹿的主要饲养方式,但却因未能提出正确的营养参数和饲养技术而进行盲目实践。
坡鹿在围栏内主要采食草本和灌木类饲草(grass and shrub forage)。随着坡鹿的选择性采食,围栏内饲草的质和量会发生波动。坡鹿对饲草的采食种类和部位均有较强的选...
