不同繁殖性能的种鸽行为学比较分析

Comparison of behaviors of pigeons with different reproductive performances

为了探究不同繁殖性能种鸽的行为学差异,选取同一鸽舍的种鸽12对,根据实际生产记录数据分为2组,繁殖性能好组和繁殖性能差组,每组6对,以重复为单位统计种鸽各行为的总次数。结果显示:种鸽在8:00—9:00采食及啄保健砂行为次数显著多于其他时间段(P<0.05),种鸽玩耍行为次数在8:00—9:00和13:00—14:00显著多于其他时间段(P<0.05);繁殖性能好组种鸽玩耍行为、亲吻行为和相互梳羽行为次数显著多于繁殖性能差组(P<0.05),繁殖性能差组种鸽间打斗行为次数显著多于繁殖性能好组(P<0.05),2组间其他行为差异不显著(P>0.05)。提示:可根据种鸽玩耍行为、亲吻行为、相互梳羽行为以及打斗行为初步判断种鸽的繁殖性能。

To explore the behavioral differences among pigeons with different reproductive performances,twelve pairs of breeding pigeons in the same loft were selected,and were then divided into two groups according to their actual production record data,one group with good reproductive performance and the other group with poor reproductive performance.Each group had six pairs of pigeons.The total number of each behaviors of the breeding pigeons was counted in the unit of repetition.The results showed that the frequency of feeding and health care pecking sand behaviors of the pigeons in the 8:00-9:00 period was significantly higher than in the other time periods(P<0.05),and the frequency of their playing behaviors in the 8:00-9:00 and 13:00-14:00 periods was significantly higher than in the other time periods(P<0.05);the frequencies of playing behaviors,kissing behaviors and feather combing behaviors of the breeding pigeons in the group with good reproductive performance were significantly higher than those in the group with poor reproductive performance(P<0.05).The frequency of fighting behaviors between the breeding pigeons in the group with poor reproductive performance was significantly higher than that in the group with good reproductive performance(P<0.05),and other behaviors between the two groups were not significantly different(P>0.05).In conclusion,the reproductive performance of breeding pigeons might be preliminarily determined according to their behaviors of playing,kissing,feather combing and fighting.
