Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of the study is to explore and determine the musk production patterns and potential influences of variables such as age, origin, management system and musk-extraction season in captive male Alpine musk deer (Moschus sifanicus). 【Method】 During the musk-extraction (October or March) at Xinglongshan Musk Deer Farm of Gansu Province, musk production and individual identification data were collected from captive male Alpine musk deers (the water of new extracted musk was absorbed, and then the musk was weighed). 【Result】 The annual average musk production (AMP) per animal was (7.90±0.17) g with a range of 0.00 g to 34.20 g (n=732). The origin of the individual had an influence on AMP, with male wild-captured (WC) individuals recording significantly higher values ((8.76±0.27) g, n=272) than those of captive bred (CB) males ((7.39±0.22) g, n=460) (P＜0.05), and the origin of parents had no effect on AMP (P＞0.05). Insignificant differences were found in AMP between musk-extraction seasons (P＞0.05), but differences in yearly management strategies had a significant impact on AMP (P＜0.05). The average musk production differed with age, the prime age being from 1.5 to 8.5 years old. 【Conclusion】The most influential variables on musk production in musk deer farming are individual origin, age and management measures, with insignificant results suggesting parental origin and musk-extraction season had little impact on production (P＞0.05).
