We investigated the inhibitory effect of capsaicin fertilizer on feeding in deer. We tested four captive adult female deer. In Experiment 1, in addition to the treatment (intact) containing only a solid feed (HC), we mixed the fertilizer not containing capsaicin (F) or the capsaicin fertilizer (CF) in the solid feed. In addition, the solid feed was put on a wire net that capsaicin fertilizer was placed 5 cm below (SCF). We investigated their feeding behavior response. In Experiment 2, we changed the amount of substance (fertilizer and capsaicin fertilizer) mixed in the HC. We mixed different amounts (0, 50, 100, and 200 g) of the treatments other than the intact with HC and presented them to the deer, and investigated their feeding behavior response. In Experiment 1, intake in the F and CF decreased (p < .05). In Experiment 2, HC intake was significantly lower in the 100 and 200 g CF (p < .05). However, HC intake relatively increased by the last day in the CF 200 g too. The capsaicin fertilizer decreased the feeding behavior of deer by directly touching the mucous membranes of the deer nose and lips. However, the effects were decreased over time.
我们研究了辣椒肥料对鹿采食的抑制作用。我们测试了四只圈养的成年雌鹿。在实验 1 中，除了含有固体饲料（HC）的处理（完整）外，我们还将不含辣椒素的肥料（F）或辣椒素肥料（CF）混合到固体饲料中。此外，固体饲料放在铁丝网下面 5 厘米处（SCF），我们调查了它们的采食行为反应。在实验 2 中，我们改变了 HC 中混合的物质（肥料和辣椒素肥料）的量。我们将除完整以外的处理与 HC 混合，并以不同的量（0、50、100 和 200 g）呈现给鹿，并调查了它们的采食行为反应。在实验 1 中，F 和 CF 的摄入量减少（p <.05）。在实验 2 中，100 和 200 g CF 中的 HC 摄入量显著降低（p <.05）。然而，在 CF 200 g 的最后一天，HC 的摄入量也相对增加了。辣椒素肥料通过直接接触鹿的鼻黏膜和嘴唇的黏膜，降低了鹿的采食行为。然而，随着时间的推移，这种效果会减弱。
