Preparation of dietary formula for breeding hedgehog

1) draw up the feeding standard of hedgehog and select feed raw material hedgehog for a short time, and there is no feeding standard for each biological period. Now, referring to the dietary standards of other omnivores, the provisional digestible energy is 11 megajoules / kg. Digestible protein is 16.5%, calcium 1%, phosphorus 0.6%, lysine 0.8%. The local feed materials are corn, wheat bran, fine rice bran, soybean meal, fish meal, carrots, sweet potatoes, green vegetables and so on.

2) the initial ration takes into account the proportion of minerals and additives of 1% to 2% as these raw materials, while the other raw materials are prepared at the rate of 98% to 99%. The initial match takes into account protein, energy and crude fiber. The contents of digestible energy and protein do not meet the requirements of the target, so it is necessary to adjust the proportion of feed materials, increase the amount of protein feed and reduce the amount of bran feed materials.

3) adjust the formula because the energy and protein content can not meet the requirements, so the amount of corn and soybean meal should be increased, while the amount of vegetables and sweet potato should be reduced. It was originally proposed that the formula has an energy of 11.0 megajoules / kg and a protein content of 16.5%. After adjustment, the feed energy is 11.09 MJ / kg, and the protein content is 16.65%, which is slightly higher than the original design, and can be used as a reference formula for hedgehog feeding.

4) in the adjusted formula, the content of calcium, phosphorus and lysine in the adjusted formula is slightly lower, the phosphorus is slightly higher, and the lysine is higher. When raising hedgehogs, the feed formula can be formulated according to different biological periods, and the appropriate addition of calcium can be used as feed for this period.
