灰胸竹鸡笼养生活习性的观察及体尺指标的测定

Observation of Life Habits and Measurement of Body Ruler Index of Bamboo Partridge Reared in the Shed

对野生灰胸竹鸡(Bambusicola thoracica)的笼养生活习性进行了初步观察,并对竹鸡的体尺指标进行了测定和比较,以便为人工饲养竹鸡提供参考依据。结果表明,舍饲竹鸡在生活习性方面仍然保持有野生时的鸣叫、梳羽、集群等习性。环境因素对竹鸡生活习性的影响较大。在体尺指标方面,雄性体重大于雌性,差异极显著(P<0.01),雄性竹鸡胫长指标、强壮指数均高于雌性竹鸡且差异显著(P<0.05)。其它生理指标雌雄个体差异不大。

Primary observation of life habits and measurement of body ruler index of bamboo partridge （Bumbusicola thoracica） reared in the shed was conducted and compared to supply references for the birds to be reared artificially. The result showed that the bamboo partridges kept its wild life habit including tweeting, pluming behavior, cluster, etc. when they were reared in the shed. Environmental factors gready influenced their life habits. In the body ruler index, the male body weight of the bird was heavier than the female, the difference was extremely remarkable（ P 〈 0.01） ; the male shin long index, strong index of a bamboo partridge were longer and higher than the female and the difference was remarkable （ P 〈 0.05）. The individual difference of other physiological indexes between the male and female birds was not obvious.
