摘要

以两种不同成熟阶段的蛋鸡为试验对象,研究了光对家禽巢址选择的影响。即将产卵的个体被隔离在一个围栏里,让它们选择两种类型的巢箱,一种内部有照明,另一种没有照明。几乎所有被测试的鸟都在提供的一个盒子里下蛋,但它们对黑暗或明亮条件的选择因品种和成熟度的不同而有很大差异。在四种母鸡中,只有一种,即产第一枚蛋的白莱格霍恩品种的母鸡,表现出对黑暗巢穴的偏好。一种来自罗德岛红鸡的品种的鸡更有可能在浅色的巢里下蛋,而在这两种品种中,以前在开放式围栏里下蛋的母鸡比naïve个体更喜欢浅色的巢。这些结果表明,光强度不是影响巢址选择的基本因素,但在蛋鸡管理中可能必须考虑光强度。

The effect of light on the choice of nests by domestic hens

The involvement of light in nest-site selection by domestic fowls was tested in two strains of laying hens at two stages of maturity. Individuals that were about to lay an egg were isolated in a pen and given a choice of two sorts of nest-box, one illuminated internally and the other without illumination. Nearly all birds tested laid in one of the boxes provided, but their choice of dark or light conditions varied strongly with both strain and maturity. Only one of the four categories of hen, those of a White Leghorn strain laying their first egg, exhibited the expected preference for dark nests. Birds of a strain derived from Rhode Island Reds were more likely to lay in light nests, and with both strains hens which had previously been laying in open pens showed greater preference for light nests than did naïve individuals. These results suggest that light intensity is not a fundamental factor influencing nest-site selection, but it may nevertheless haveto be considered in the management of laying hens.
