| 520 | |a Environment enrichment such as olfactory enrichment can be used to increase behavioural diversity and reduce stereotypies in captive animals. This study was done to document the diurnal activity pattern, to determine the occurrence and frequency of stereotypies, and to study the effects of olfactory enrichment on captive Malayan tigers (Panthera tigris jacksoni). Diurnal behaviour of six adult Malayan tigers was observed at Zoo Melaka using instantaneous scan sampling every 10 minutes. The experimental protocol comprised three temporal blocks (pre-enrichment, enrichment and post-enrichment) lasting for five days each. A synthetically derived product (perfume) and a natural product (lime) were used as olfactory stimuli, and were applied on the walls of the enclosure following a fixed alternating routine. The frequency of behaviours observed for each tiger was expressed as proportions of the total number of scan for the day and means of each temporal phase of the study were statistical compared. The activity budgets of the captive Malayan tigers was dominated by locomotion, stance and resting. Investigative behaviour significantly increased during the enrichment period. The frequency of stereotypic pacing and patrolling did not differ significantly between the pre-enrichment, enrichment and post-enrichment periods. However, the tigers did exhibit a trend of decreasing stereotypic behaviour pattern when the olfactory enrichment was introduced. The highest contact frequency of the olfactory items was during the morning and evening. Olfactory stimuli have the potential to be used as a form of enrichment in captive tigers to increase their behavioural diversity. | ||
