1. General provisions of requirement for animal of panda. (20 marks)
The panda’s diet will include the following things. Firstly, the main food provided for the panda is bamboo. This includes yellow groove bamboo and Bisetti bamboo; both are used at the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington DC. If possible, 200 g. of fresh bamboo leaves should be offered daily to each animal. It is desirable to obtain representative samples of the bamboo offered throughout the year and to have them chemically analyzed. Such an analysis is best conducted in a forage laboratory such as those of the local university or agricultural agencies. Protein (CP), fat (EE), acid detergent fiber (ADF), calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P) are the main nutrients needed. If bamboo samples are similar in composition to the biscuit portion of the diet then more bamboo may be offered than the recommended 200 g of bamboo leaves, up to a maximum of 400g. If bamboo is unavailable or seasonally available then fiber must be incorporated into the concentrate portion of the diet (the biscuit). If an appropriate biscuit is not provided than an additional fiber source such as ground beet pulp must be provided in some acceptable form (possibly unsweetened gruel) or through and adequate source of grass and plants in the enclosure. These constitute the principal diet of pandas.
Also, pandas are fed leaf-eater biscuits daily which provide them with vitamins and minerals. Every effort should be made to convert pandas to a nutritionally complete biscuit (pellet/cake is included in this term) diet. It is important to note that if one biscuit does not prove palatable, others may be used as long as they fall within the nutrient
