摘要

為探討褐色菜鴨對選擇產蛋位置之特性乃進行產蛋箱之顏色、構造、襯墊材料與隱密性等試驗。褐色菜鴨對產蛋箱顏色並無特別的喜好，產蛋箱設置在牆邊者產蛋比例較多，產蛋箱內襯墊材料的種類對鴨隻選擇產蛋位置有很大的影響，產蛋比例以稻殼巢最高，稻草巢次之，人工草皮巢最低，雖然重複間變異很大，但可測知柔軟襯墊材料的巢箱置放於隱密處應是褐色菜鴨最愛的產蛋地點。

This study was to investigate the laying behavior of Brown Tsaiya ducks. The effects of color, structure, pad materials, and covertness of nest on the choice of laying place were explored. Laying position was not affected by the color of nest. The ducks preferred to lay eggs in the nest that located close to the wall. The pad materials in nest had a significant effect on the selection of laying position. Ducks laid more eggs in the nest with rice hull, followed by rice straw and artificial turf. Although a great variation was observed among replicates, however, the soft-pad nest in the covert area attracted more ducks to lay.
