Comparative Study of Body Temperature Measurement In Birds Of Family Pssitacidae and Mamalia Family Leporidae in Captivity

Abstract

Body temperature is an important variable in animals that affects almost all animal life. Body temperature is a basic physiological indicator. The body temperature of animals is also affected by the temperature of the environment. In endothermic and ectothermic animals, the ambient temperature can describe the physiological state of the animal. The internal temperature can be sampled using a digital thermometer, which is inserted into the anal openings of birds and mammals. In this study, birds were taken using lovebirds and mammals using rabbits, this is because these two species are species that are often kept by most people. The purpose of this study is to compare the body temperature of the species in response to physiological resistance parameters in birds of the Pssitacidae family and mammals of the Leporidae family in the city of Malang and Malang Regency which have different regional temperatures.  and Malang regency. The temperature of rabbits (mammals) and birds (Lovebird) located in the city of Malang in the morning is 27.0 °C while in the afternoon it is 27.7 °C. While it is located in Malang district in the morning is 22.6°C while in the afternoon it is 25.3 °C. The temperature of male rabbits and female rabbits (mammals) in the city of Malang is 37.9 and 37.4 °C in the morning to 37.4 and 38.4 °C in the afternoon,  while in birds (Lovebird) 42.2 °C-42.0°C in the morning and evening to 42.2-42.4 °C. Rabbit (mammal) temperature in Malang district increased in the morning and evening to 36.6-37.2 °C to 37.4-37.9 °C. While in birds (Lovebird) 40.6 °C to 41.8-41.2 °C. the comparison of temperature in the morning and evening between the city and Malang district was significant, namely 0.018-0.026. A significant ratio of rectal temperature occurred in male mammals (rabbits) in the morning and evening, which was 0.042-0.050. The ratio of rectal temperature of Female Mammals (rabbits) was significant in the morning and evening, namely 0.002-0.024. The comparison of rectal temperature was significant in male lovebirds in the morning and evening, which was 0.020-0.039. The ratio of rectal temperature of female lovebirds was significant in the morning and evening, namely 0.028-0.002.
