Title: Study on the Growth Model of Forest Musk Deer(Moschus berezorskii)
Abstract: 【Objective】The aim of this study is to detect the growth curve model of the forest musk deer(Moschus berezorskii).【Method】Logistic,Gompertz,Log-modified,Log-logistic,Gauss, power function,conic,exponential function,hyperbolic function and negative exponential function models were chosen as the candidates for fitting the growth model of bodyweight,shoulder height and body length of the forest musk deer.【Results】Power function model had the best fitting performance which could reflect bodyweight,shoulder height and body length growth characteristics of the forest musk deer,with fitted equation y=2.237 2x0.388114(R2=0.992 6),y= 28.380 2x0.159911(R2=0.987 5)and y=48.159 5x0.164618(R2=0.961 3),respectively.【Conclusion】 The growth model of bodyweight,shoulder height and body length for the forest musk deer fitted power function curve rather than single S growth curve.
