Techniques of raising Meat Dogs in the Courtyard

Meat dogs refer to those who mainly eat meat. The investment in raising this kind of meat dogs is small and the profit is very high. Therefore, the breeding industry of meat dogs is also developing day by day. Meat dog breeding needs a relatively large venue, generally with a large courtyard. So, what are the techniques of raising meat dogs in the yard? What are the points for attention? Let's take a look.

Techniques of raising Meat Dogs in the Courtyard

I. Construction of cage houses

1. Dogs should be raised in kennels, usually 3 dogs in one house. The dog cage is generally woven with galvanized iron wire, the bottom of the cage is made of No. 12 or No. 14 iron wire, and the cage square is 4 cm × 4 cm. The construction of kennels should be built in places where water, power and transportation are convenient, away from residential areas, where the wind is sunny and where drainage is good. According to the scale of raising to determine the building scope and equipment, large dog farms, must have shed, cage, feed processing room, cold storage, dry feed warehouse, veterinary room, technical room, leather preliminary processing room and so on.

2. Small kennels or courtyards can be raised in cages and chambers. Kennels are used for sunshade and rain protection, and local materials can be used in accordance with local conditions. conditional farms can use triangle iron, cement pier and asbestos tile structure, although the cost is high, but durable. The construction of the cage should be convenient for cleaning, catching dogs and convenient management of breeders.

3. The dog's kennel should be kept clean, dry, cleaned regularly and disinfected regularly. Keep clean for dog hair changing season from March to May and September to November every year.

4. In order to ensure a safe and quiet environment in the kennel, a fence with a height of 2.5-3m should be built around the kennel, a lime trough for disinfection should be set up at the gate, and greening should be carried out around and inside the kennel to beautify the environment.

II. Key points of culture management

1. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene

The kennel must be cleaned every day, removed feces at any time, cleaned once a month, and disinfected thoroughly twice a year in the spring and autumn rainy season. For sick dogs, the bedding should be thoroughly removed, burned centrally or buried deeply. When the weather is warm, open the doors and windows of the kennel for ventilation and sunshine.

2. Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity

The standard temperature in the kennel is 13-15 "C in winter and 15-17" C in summer. If the ambient temperature is too low, it will consume too much energy, affect growth and development, and is easy to freeze to death of puppies.

High, will reduce the dog's appetite, slow growth, and even cause heatstroke. In view of the cold-resistant and heat-resistant characteristics of adult dogs and heat-resistant and cold-resistant young dogs, it is mainly to keep warm for young dogs, and the focus is to prevent heat and cool down for adult dogs, pay attention to maintain air circulation, avoid direct sunlight, and carry out mechanical forced ventilation if necessary. The humidity in the kennel should be kept at 50 / 60%. When the humidity is too high, heatstroke is easy to occur in summer, and winter is conducive to bacterial reproduction and colds. If the humidity is too low, the dust in the kennel will increase, which will damage the respiratory tract.

3. Tableware should be disinfected regularly

It can be boiled, soaked in 0.1% bromogeramine solution for 20 minutes, or soaked in 2% caustic soda water, and finally rinsed with clean water. Wash the utensils after each meal and pour out the rest of the food.

4. Train dogs to defecate and urinate in fixed places, keep the kennel clean and hygienic, and reduce the incidence of diseases.

5. Comb and trim your toenails regularly

Brushing the dog body is beneficial to the dog's health and promotes the blood circulation of the skin, preventing parasites on the body surface. Trimming your toenails can prevent local infection caused by scratching the skin. A pair of lactating puppies should be trimmed regularly for adult dogs for a month.

6. Proper exercise

Proper exercise can promote metabolism, increase appetite, enhance physique, improve the libido and sperm motility of male breeds, promote the blood circulation of pregnant bitches, and ensure the health of mothers and fetuses. For fattening dogs, exercise should be reduced to promote growth and speed up fattening.

III. Disease prevention and treatment

1. In order to prevent and cure dog diseases, we must carry out the policy of "prevention is more important than cure", focus on the prevention of malignant infectious diseases in dogs, strengthen the sanitary management of feed and drinking water for general diseases, and strengthen breeding for herds to improve the disease resistance of the body.

2. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the hygienic management of veterinary farms and feed processing rooms. Every day, it is necessary to prevent wild cats and wild dogs from entering the field, and personnel entering and leaving the field should be disinfected to prevent diseases from being brought into the field. Food and beverage utensils should be scrubbed every day, disinfected once a week, the ground should be cleaned every day, and the ground should be disinfected every half a month.

3. Secondly, it is necessary to turn off good feed so that moldy, rotten and spoiled feed can not be fed to dogs. In some areas, dead lamb is the main feed, which must be cooked and fed. Meat from unknown sources should not be fed as much as possible. At the same time, we should pay attention to killing rats, because many diseases are spread by rats.

Fourth, do a good job of vaccination

1. Use the products of regular manufacturers. At present, there are many domestic manufacturers of animal vaccine, but some manufacturers have not done systematic research on the characteristics of the virus pathogen and the immunogenicity of the virus species, and even only asked for some virus seeds from friends or foreign countries, so that the background materials of the virus species are unknown. It is bound to cause poor quality and immune failure.

2. Correctly preserve and transport the vaccine. Attenuated vaccines need to be preserved at low temperature. if they are not properly preserved, the titer will be reduced, the immune effect will be reduced, and even fail.

3. Reasonable immunization procedure. Farms with relatively weak technical strength often make mistakes frequently due to the lack of reasonable immune procedures. If the baby animal is vaccinated as soon as it is nestled, the maternal antibody of the baby animal has not yet disappeared, and the antigen is neutralized by the antibody, resulting in immune failure.

4. Sufficient immune dose. In order to save cost, some farms arbitrarily reduce the dosage of vaccine. In addition, due to unskilled operation caused by leakage, due to insufficient injection dose and can not play the effect of immunity. If the prevention work is done well, we can get twice the result with half the effort. On the other hand, once the disease occurs, treatment and control is very difficult, even if there are treatment and control methods, the cost is also high. Infectious diseases, in particular, are almost impossible to eliminate completely in a short time.

Benefits of Meat Dog breeding

I. income from the sale of dogs

The bitches gave birth to 2 babies a year, with an average of 6 per litter, and 10 bitches gave birth to 120 puppies. They were fattened in captivity for 4-5 months, with an average weight of 20 kg and a price of 15 yuan per kilogram. The annual income from selling dogs totaled 36000 yuan.

II. Cost expenditure

1. Feed cost: using ecological breeding and artificial breeding to solve the protein feed for dogs, it is only necessary to supplement mineral additives and a small amount of concentrate feed. The cost of refined feed for each fattening dog is 0.40 yuan per day, and 120 fattening dogs are fattened for 4 months (from birth to sale, 15 days after birth). The total cost of feed is 5760 yuan, and the total expenditure for 13 breeder dogs is 0.45 yuan per day, and the total expenditure for the whole year is 2135 yuan. when preparing breeding dogs are bought back at the age of 2 months, they have to raise for another 15 months (only after the third estrus). The feed fee is 0.40 yuan per day, and the total expenditure for 15 months is 2340 yuan. The expenditure of artificial breeding is about 1000 yuan, and the total cost of feed is 11240 yuan.

2. Other expenses: 500 yuan for water and electricity, 350 yuan for tools, 600 yuan for epidemic prevention and disinfection drugs.

3. Total expenditure: a total of 12690 yuan, making a profit of 23310 yuan that year.

Points for attention in Meat Dog breeding

1. Select a good breed of dog: when introducing a breed from the outfield, it is necessary to find out the past health condition of the species in which the dog is introduced. Estrus synchronization and mating techniques were used to ensure that the bitches gave birth to 2 babies a year and survived 12.

2. Artificial insect breeding: artificial insect breeding technology passes to ensure that meat dogs get enough cheap and high-protein feed.

3. Aquaculture techniques: skilled fattening techniques and experience, fattening in captivity for 4.5 months, weight up to 20 kg.

4. Reasonable sales: try to reduce the intermediate links of sales and sell directly to restaurants or meat dog processing plants as far as possible. if sold to dog traders, the profit will be reduced by half. If you can slaughter your own products for deep processing and supply the products to the supermarket, the profit can be doubled.

5. Strengthen quarantine work. The newly introduced dogs are quarantined and observed after arriving at the destination.

6. do a good job in daily health examination, regular monitoring, find problems, and treat them as soon as possible.

7. do a good job of vaccination. Diseases that meat dogs need to use vaccines to control are: canine distemper, parvovirus enteritis, encephalitis, Hendra virus and so on.

8. Parasite prevention and control should begin before the introduction of new meat dogs; at the same time, non-communicable diseases should be prevented; and enclosures and cages should be designed and constructed to meet the biological characteristics and needs of animals as far as possible.

It seems that the profit value of meat dogs is still very high, and the breeding technology is also simple. As long as farmers carry out scientific and reasonable breeding methods and pay attention to the prevention and treatment of diseases, healthy meat dogs can be fed.
