چکیده

Activity patterns and time budgets play a crucial role in the successful farming and management of animals. In this study, the behavior patterns of ۵۳ forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) were analyzed from October ۲nd to ۱۶th, ۲۰۲۱, throughout the day and night. The results showed a distinct dawn–dusk activity rhythm in the captive forest musk deer with a peak activity observed at dawn (۰۷:۰۰ - ۱۰:۰۰) and dusk (۱۶:۰۰ - ۱۹:۰۰). Additionally, there were smaller activity peaks lasting less than an hour during the nighttime (۰۰:۰۰ - ۰۴:۰۰). Comparing behavior ratios between peak and off-peak periods, it was evident that all behaviors, except rumination (RU), showed significant differences. Furthermore, no significant differences were found in the behavior ratios of the forest musk deer between the daytime and night-time. During the daytime, the percentages of time spent performing locomotion (۳۲.۸۷ ± ۳.۳۸%), feeding (۱۴.۴۳ ± ۱.۸۱%), and RU (۵.۶۲ ± ۱.۴۶%) were slightly higher compared to the night-time. Based on these findings, it is important to match the management strategies for musk deer farming with the animals' activity patterns and behavioral rhythms. Doing so can enhance farming outputs and contribute to the welfare of captive forest musk deer.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
