Culture conditions of donkey

Forage conditions: for raising donkeys, it is necessary to have sufficient forage grass and master the correct feeding method, and the main forage grass is dry, crisp and hard crop straw, such as millet, corn, bean vine, etc., which are fed once every morning, middle and evening. Enclosure conditions: feeding troughs need to be built in the enclosure, each donkey needs 60-80cm feeding space and a strong fence. Sanitary conditions: although donkeys have strong disease resistance, they should also pay attention to the sanitation of breeding environment and prevent the occurrence of diseases.

First, feed forage species

1. Donkeys are herbivores. Generally, dry, crisp and hard crop stalks are better fed, such as millet, corn and bean vines, which need to be cut into short segments with a length of 3-4cm by using a straw cutter.

2. during this period, do not feed semi-dry, non-wet, constantly broken forage grass, which can easily lead to donkey indigestion, and can be supplemented with corn, peas, fried cottonseed and other concentrate or wheat bran.

2. the method of feeding forage grass

The main results are as follows: 1. you can choose to be fed once every morning, noon and evening, mainly in the evening, and each time, you can add an appropriate amount of straw. When the donkey is more than half full, then feed the straw mixed with bean vine, alfalfa and other forage grass with high protein content, which is helpful to improve the appetite of the donkey.

2. When the donkey stops eating, feed the grass left at the bottom of the trough with whole grains of feed such as corn, peas, fried cottonseed, or wheat bran and a small amount of clean water, which is helpful to increase the donkey's food intake.

III. Enclosure culture

1. For large-scale breeding of donkeys, you can choose stables for breeding. General stables only need to be able to block the rain and wind. Feeding troughs need to be built in the enclosure, and each donkey needs to be left with a feeding position of 60-80cm.

2. Between adult donkeys, a strong fence can be built according to the distance of the feeding position to avoid harassing each other, and male-female mixed stables need to be built.

IV. Methods of reproduction

The main results are as follows: 1. Donkey breeds with large size, rough feeding resistance, strong disease resistance, high adaptability, good reproductive performance and high feed reward can be selected. at present, donkeys are mainly mating and breeding of the same kind, and can also choose to cross with horses.

2. Artificial insemination can be used in large-scale culture, and semen of improved varieties can be collected, which is conducive to mass breeding and promote the cultivation and promotion of improved varieties.

V. Prevention of epidemic diseases

1. Farmed donkeys are more tolerant to roughage and have higher disease resistance than horses and cattle, but it does not mean that they do not get sick, especially under the condition of large-scale breeding, the principle of giving priority to prevention and combining prevention and control should be strictly carried out.

2, also need to pay attention to breeding environmental hygiene, reduce the incidence of epidemic disease, donkeys and mules and horses, are prone to infectious anemia, gangrene, tetanus and other diseases.
