The relative acceptance of various plain foods by wild house-mice (Mus musculus L.) was compared in laboratory choice tests. The palatability of glycerine and six oils, each included at 5% in pinhead oatmeal, was compared in a similar manner.The most favoured food was found to be whole canary seed (Phalaris canariensis). Pinhead oatmeal and wheat were also comparatively well accepted. Glycerine, corn oil, arachis oil and mineral oil were more palatable than either olive, linseed or cod-liver oils.The results of the choice tests are considered in relation to the use of poison baits for the control of free-living mice.
在实验室选择试验中,比较了野生家鼠(小家鼠)对各种普通食物的相对接受程度。以类似方式比较了甘油和六种油类在针头大小燕麦片中各占5%时的适口性。结果发现最受喜爱的食物是金丝雀草籽(Phalaris canariensis)。针头大小的燕麦片和小麦也相对较易被接受。甘油、玉米油、花生油和矿物油比橄榄油、亚麻籽油或鱼肝油更可口。结合使用毒饵控制野生家鼠的情况对选择试验结果进行了考量。
