Site selection of artificial rearing hedgehog

The old house for raising hedgehogs can also be used after maintenance and renovation, which can save the investment in capital construction. If there is no idle use of the old house, the following conditions should be paid attention to when building a farm.

1) the hedgehog farm with topography and topography should choose the place with higher terrain and dry ground. If it is a mountainous or hilly area, it should be on the south or east slope of the leeward and sunny direction, and it is more ideal to build a field in a valley or flat place that can avoid the tuyere. If the hills, mountains are flat, and the ground is small, the topography can be modified into a ladder shape. Low-lying and muddy swamps, where there is perennial stagnant water, it is not suitable to build hedgehog farms.

2) the place where hedgehog farms are built with soil and water quality cannot be the land where chemical plants and other livestock and poultry farms have been built. The former land may be contaminated by chemicals, while the latter land may be contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms of livestock and poultry. This is disadvantageous to raising hedgehogs in the future, and should be avoided. Hedgehog farms need clean water for adding feed, cleaning and washing, drinking water, etc., so the site should be located near streams, rivers, lakes, ponds or places with rich and clean underground water sources. It is worth noting that when choosing a source of water, the stagnant pond should not be used as the source of water, which contains a lot of pathogenic microorganisms and is the source of disease.

3) Social conditions

The transportation conditions are more convenient and such places can ensure the timely transportation of feed and other materials.

Power supply is easy to solve feed processing, field lighting, staff entertainment all need power, to solve the use of electricity is one of the indispensable conditions.

(3) the environmental conditions should be good. There are no livestock farms or poultry farms around to prevent homologous pathogens from infecting diseases, and should keep a certain distance from the places where residents live. The environment of the hedgehog farm needs to be secluded, and it is not suitable to be near the traffic roads and factories and mining areas with lots of vehicles.

4 Land conditions the land should be spacious and open, the land area should be left room, and the relevant issues of future development should be considered. Farms can be built on barren and idle land without competing with crops.

(5) Feed should be easily purchased locally in order to reduce transportation and reduce cost.
