Abstract

Summaryo

1.
The rumination pattern was studied by means of records of jaw movements in 24 young goats.
2.
The total time spent ruminating, the distribution of this time throughout a 24-hour period, and the length of rumination cycles were studied.
3.
The pattern of rumination in goats was found to be similar to those of cattle and sheep reproted in the literature.
4.
The goats spent an average of 7 hours 44 minutes ruminating in 24 hours, an average of 75 per cent. of which was performed at night.
5.
Large differences between rumination behaviour of different goats and considerable variation in the behaviour of any one goat on different days were observed.
6.
The duration of the rumination cycle was shorter during the day.
7.
The pattern of rumination in these goats showed no important change during the period of observation.

圈养山羊反刍行为模式

Summaryo1。通过对24只山羊下颚运动的记录，对其反刍模式进行了研究。研究了反刍的总时间、反刍时间在24小时内的分布以及反刍周期的长度。山羊的反刍模式与文献中报道的牛和绵羊的反刍模式相似。山羊在24小时内平均花费7小时44分钟进行反刍，平均75%的反刍是在夜间进行的。我们观察到不同山羊的反刍行为有很大的差异，任何一只山羊在不同的日子里的行为也有很大的变化。白天反刍周期持续时间较短。观察期间山羊反刍模式无明显变化。
