圈养林麝秋季日常行为研究

Study on the Daily Behaviors of Captive Musk Deer(Moschus berezovskii)in Autumn

为探索圈养林麝的秋季日常行为,2020年8—9月,每月定期10 d,采用行为取样法和全事件记录法在云南昆明麝达林业科技发展有限公司林麝养殖基地观察并记录9只林麝(6只成体雌麝,3只成体雄麝)的日常行为。共记录林麝24种行为,可归纳成7种行为型,即摄食、运动、反刍、卧息、站立、排遗及嗅闻行为。通过对秋季林麝各行为类型的统计与比较发现,雄性林麝的活跃度高于雌麝,不同性别间卧息、嗅闻行为存在显著差异(P<0.05),排遗和站立行为存在极显著差异(P<0.01)。这可能与性别、圈养方式和雄性林麝刚结束产麝周期等因素有关。

From August to September of 2020,using the sampling method and event recording method,the daily behaviors of 9 individuals of Moschus berezovskii(6 female adult musks,3 male adult musks)in musk deer breeding base of Yunnan Kunming Sheda Forestry Science and Technology Development Co.,Ltd.were observed and recorded every 10 days one month.24 kinds of M.berezovskii behaviors were recorded and divided into seven kinds of behavior model,namely intaking(IN),movement(MO),rumination,resting(RE),standing(ST),excrement and smelling.Through the statistics and comparison of various types of M.berezovskii’s behaviors in autumn,it was found that the activity of male musk deer was higher than that of female musk deer(P<0.05),there was significant difference in resting and smelling between different sexes of M.berezovskii(P<0.05),and there was extremely significant difference in excrement and standing between different sexes of M.berezovskii(P<0.01).This might be related to sex and the captive breeding model,and this might be related to the factor that male musk deer just ended the cycle of musk production.
