Kajian profil hormon progesteron pada sampel feses untuk memonitor status reproduksi pada rusa sambar secara non-invasif abstrak kajian mengenai profil hormon progesteron pada rusa sambar (cervus unicolor), khususnya melalui analisis sampel feses, masih relatif terbatas. perhitungan hormon progesteron non-invasif telah banyak diterapkan guna mengamati status reproduksi berbagai jenis satwa liar. informasi mengenai status reproduksi, termasuk dinamika hormonal seperti kadar progesteron, memiliki peranan penting dalam pemantauan siklus reproduksi serta penyusunan strategi perkembangbiakan yang berkelanjutan. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil metabolit hormon progesteron sampel feses rusa sambar betina sebagai indikator status reproduksi melalui metode pengukuran non-invasif. penelitian ini menggunakan 3 ekor rusa sambar betina dewasa di taman rusa lamtanjong, aceh besar. penelitian dilakukan dengan koleksi dan ekstraksi sampel feses lalu pengukuran kadar progesteron pada sampel feses dilakukan sesuai protokol kit elisa progesteron eia-1561. data yang didapatkan akan dianalisis deskriptif dan uji kruskal-wallis. hasil penelitian menggunakan uji kruskal-wallis memperlihatkan konsentrasi progesteron feses pada tiga individu rusa sambar tidak berbeda nyata (h = 0,480; df = 2; p = 0,786). konsentrasi progesteron feses pada ketiga rusa menunjukkan penurunan dan peningkatan yang berbeda-beda. berdasarkan penurunan dan peningkatan kadar progesteron tersebut dapat diketahui apakah rusa sedang dalam fase luteal atau fase folikuler. dapat disimpulkan bahwa perubahan kadar progesteron pada rusa sambar betina menunjukkan aktivitas status reproduksi, terutama pada fase luteal dan fase folikuler. kata kunci: cervus unicolor, hormon progesteron, rusa sambar, status reproduksi.

PROGESTERONE HORMONE PROFILE STUDY IN FECES SAMPLES TO MONITOR REPRODUCTIVE STATUS IN SAMBAR DEER NON-INVASIVELY ABSTRACT Studies on the progesterone hormone profile of sambar deer (Cervus unicolor), particularly through fecal sample analysis, remain relatively limited. Non-invasive progesterone monitoring has been widely applied to assess the reproductive status of various wildlife species. Information regarding reproductive status including hormonal dynamics such as progesterone levels plays a crucial role in monitoring reproductive cycles and formulating sustainable breeding strategies. This study aimed to determine the progesterone metabolite profile in female Sambar deer fecal samples as an indicator of reproductive status using a non-invasive measurement method. The study utilized three adult female Sambar deer at the Lamtanjong Deer Park in Aceh Besar. Fecal samples were collected and extracted, and progesterone levels were measured following the protocol for the EIA-1561 progesterone ELISA kit. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results from the Kruskal-Wallis test showed no significant difference in fecal progesterone concentrations among the three Sambar deer individuals (H = 0.480; df = 2; p = 0.786). Fecal progesterone concentrations in the three deer exhibited varying patterns of decrease and increase. These fluctuations in progesterone levels allow for the identification of whether the deer are in the luteal or follicular phase. It can be concluded that changes in progesterone levels in female Sambar deer reflect reproductive activity, specifically regarding the luteal and follicular phases.
