摘要
作者对家免白天食粪行为进行了观察研究。发现家兔白天食硬粪而不是软粪。食粪在休息时进行,具有固定的模式。食粪高峰出现在上午10—11时,与饲喂时间有关,约为早饲后的3—4h。食粪次数从7—8次到近100次不等,不同生理阶段差异很大,以哺乳母兔、妊娠母兔和配种期公兔最多。限制饲养多于自由采食。兔食硬粪是营养自我补偿的一种方式。这一发现,对研究家兔消化生理和营养需要具有一定意义。
The auther has studied the feces eating behaviour of rabbits during the day. It is found that rabbit eats stiff feces instend of soft ones in the daytime. Feces eating occurs during the resting with a regular pattern. The highest peak of feces eating is related with the feeding time, occuring about 3—4 hours after feeding in the morning (10—11 o'clock). The times, from 7—8 to 100, vary with the physiological stages, which are the worst during lactation and pregnancy of the does and the males mating. The limitary feed is more than the ad-libitum in eating time. Eating stiff feces is a way of compensating nutritions oneself. The discovery has certain significance for the research of digestive physiology and the nutrition requirements of the rabbits.
