This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of melatonin on the behavioral time budgets of female mink in growing period based on different analysis models and sampling methods.A total of 12 short-haired black young females (with 6 minks implanted melatonin and 6 minks without implanted melatonin) were randomly selected from the mink farm.Behaviors of each mink in the two groups were video-recorded at 30 d(period Ⅰ), 60 d (period Ⅱ) and 75 d(period Ⅲ) after melatonin implantation.The results showed that there were totally different statistic results for the analysis of fixed effect of melatonin on location, eating, grooming, abnormal behavior and drinking by mixed linear model and generalized linear mixed model, respectively.The results from generalized linear mixed model conformed to the recognized effects of melatonin.Regarding to all behaviors, there were not significant differences for data obtained by instantaneous sampling at no more than 1.5 min interval and continuous sampling (P>0.05).It could be concluded that generalized linear mixed model was more suitable for the analysis of non-normalized data, and instantaneous scan sampling at 1.5 min interval was reasonable to determine behavioral time budgets of mink.
