Uji palatabiltas rodentisida antikoagulan terhadap tikus rumah (Rattus rattus diardii Linn.) dan tikus pohon (Rattus tiomanicus Mill.)

Rat is one of the wild animal which become necessary pest for human life in field of agriculture, plantation, and setlement. Rat assumed as pest because rat existence very bothering and generating loss. Rodenticide is on e of chemical control which usual use to decrease rat house (Rattus rattus diardii) and wood rat (R. tiomanicus). This research objective is knowing rodenticide palatability of brodifacoum, bromadiolone, and coumatetralyl for rat house and two formulation of brodifacoum rodenticide for wood rat at rice bait, shell of rice, and corn, rat’s weight alteration after treatment, and rat’s weight alteration during rest time. Methode of this test is feeding rodenticide which combined with bait ( bi choice test) and feeding bait without rodenticide (no choice test) for three days. After thrid day of treatment, r at taken a rest during three days and reuse for another treatment if in healthy condition. Amount of rodenticide and bait cosumption, rat’s weight alteration after treatment , and rat’s weight alteration during rest time is a variable perceived. Rat house prefer feed brodifacoum, bromadiolone, and coumatetralyl rodenticide within examination which feeding corn than feeding shell of rice bait and rice, feeding to rat house with prefer at the time of giving of maize bait than giving, while at wood rat of rodenticide blue brodifacoum and green brodifacoum less taken a fancy to in each giving of bait. Consumption bait shell of rice prefer by wood rat, however its amount do not differ from the amount of rice consumption, while maize bait represent more bait is in disfavour with both types of rat.
