Abstract
Javan loris is a protected animal whose population decreases. One way of preservation is to release the livestock Java pet and confiscated into their natural habitat. A research has been conducted to determine the type of feed and the level of preference for the type of feed of Kukang Jawa (Nycticebus javanicus) in rehabilitation and adaptation cage before it is released in Protected Forest Kondang Merak of Malang Regency. This research is conducted by providing feed that is adapted to the needs of loris. Type of feed given consists of Insects, Gum (Gum arabica), Carrots, Potatoes, Ubi, Siam Pump, Nuts, and Cucumber. The method used is observation of four male and female lorises placed in two cages measuring 2 x 2 m. Observation of feed intake was done for twelve days, and weighing the feed before giving and after feeding to know palatabititasnya. Abiotic factors measured are temperature and humidity. The results showed that the level of preference to feed based on the percentage of consumptive amount was 18.7%, Siam Pump 17.2%, Carrot 15.5%, Sweet Potatoes 15.5%, Beans 9,3%, Cucumber 9% and Potatoes 7.7%, while the lowest is Insect that is 7%. The feeding rate is not related to the temperature and humidity in the rehabilitation and adaptation cages based on the correlation test using SPSS version 22.

ABSTRAK
Kukang Jawa merupakan satwa dilindungi yang populasinya semakin menurun.Salah satu cara pelestariannya adalah melepaskan KukangJawapeliharaan dan sitaan ke habitat alamnya.Telah dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menentukan jenis pakan dan tingkat kesukaan terhadap jenis pakan KukangJawa (Nycticebus javanicus) di kandang rehabilitasi dan adaptasi sebelum dilepasliarkandi Hutan Lindung Kondang Merak Kabupaten Malang.Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan memberikan pakan yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan Kukang. Jenis pakan yang diberikan terdiri dari Serangga, Getah (Gum arabica), Wortel, Kentang, Ubi, Labu Siam, Kacang Panjang, dan Mentimun. Metode yang digunakan adalah Observasi terhadap empat ekor Kukang Jawa betina dan jantan yang ditempatkan di dalam dua kandang berukuran 2 x 2 m. Pengamatan konsumsi pakan dilakukan selama dua belas hari, dan dilakukan penimbangan pakan sebelum pemberian dan sesudah pemberian pakan untuk mengetahui palatabititasnya.Faktor abiotik yang diukur yaitu suhudan kelembaban. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kesukaan terhadap pakan berdasarkan persentase jumlah konsumsinya berturut-turut adalah Getah 18.7%, Labu Siam 17,2%, Wortel 15,5%, Ubi 15,5%, Kacang Panjang 9,3%, Mentimun 9%, dan Kentang 7,7%, sedangkan terendah adalah Serangga yaitu 7%.Tingkat kesukaan terhadap pakan tidak berhubungan dengan suhu dan kelembaban di kandang rehabilitasi dan adaptasi berdasarkan uji korelasi menggunakan SPSS versi 22.
