This study was conducted in 2013 from March to October, at the Maerkang Musk Deer Farm (MMDF), Sichuan Province. The birth dates of 178 captive Forest musk deer were recorded and analyzed to determine the temporal fawning patterns, for which parturition timing, synchrony, and the potential influencing factors were explored. The results showed a strong seasonality in the parturition patterns of captive forest musk deer, and all parturitions occurred within a range of 66 days in the three months from May to July. The average fawning date was 25 May (n=178) and the majority of births (75%) happened within 22 days from 7 to 28 May. The parturition seasonality of captive forest musk deer at MMDF was adapted to the local strong seasonal patterns of temperature, precipitation, and food resources in Maerkang. Moreover, although the parturition pattern was not strongly correlated to the age of the captive females (r=-0.121, P>0.05), the sub-adult females were inclined to fawn (26 May, n=75) later than the adults (24 May, n=95) and the old deer (21 May, n=8). However, this difference in parturition timing was not significant (P>0.05). Furthermore, no significant difference was observed among the different enclosures (P>0.05), although the females in the original enclosures with a brick surface were inclined to fawn earlier (22 May, n=62) than those in the refined enclosures with an earth surface (26 May, n=116).
