笼养雌性褐马鸡的静止代谢率(RMR)

Study on the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) for the Caged Female Brown Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum)

利用“中型陆生动物呼吸仪” ,在不同季节的不同温度下 ,测定了笼养雌性褐马鸡 (Crossoptilonmantchuricum)的静止代谢率 (restingmetabolicrate,RMR)。RMR与环境温度 (Ta)之间可用等式RMR =A+BTa+CT2a 进行拟合 ,得到了不同季节下的特定温度 (specialtemperature) :春季 2 2 6℃ ,夏季 2 5 9℃ ,秋季 2 2 2℃ ,冬季 2 0 7℃。同时得到以下结论 :笼养雌性褐马鸡的RMR在冬季最高 ,夏季最低 ,春季与秋季介于二者之间。

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the caged female Brown Eared Pheasant were measured in different seasons at different ambient temperatures. The conclusion was as follows: the relationship between RMR and ambient temperatures ( T\-a) could be described well by the following equation: RMR=A+BT\-a+CT 2_a, and the special temperatures under different seasons were also obtained as follows: 22.6℃ in spring,25.9℃ in summer, 22.2℃ in autumn and 20.7℃ in winter. We also found that RMR was the highest in winter, and the lowest in summer, and RMR in spring and autumn was higher than that in summer and lower than that in winter.
