Abstract
The main objective of this study was to assess performance of the pheasant captive breeding project undertaken by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) at Sungkai Wildlife Breeding Centre in Perak. The study was carried out based on secondary information from office records and notes available at the centre. The population of captive pheasants was generally growing with the exception of green peafowl and crestless fireback pheasant. Inbreeding was not expected in pheasant except the green peafowl. Hatching success was not consistent among the pheasants fluctuating between 0 and 91 while their mortality ranged between 0 and 100. The ability to produce and hatch eggs indicates the adaptability of the pheasants to the captive environment while the fluctuations in egg production hutching success and mortality reflect a lack of supervision.
