Feeding and management of muskrat in summer

Summer is the stage of muskrat sexual activity, but also the key period of muskrat breeding, the task of this period is to ensure the breeding ability of muskrat, ensure the smooth progress of birth and breeding. The main management points are:

Ensure the supply of fresh coarse feed, properly supplement animal feed, such as milk powder and fish meal, continue to supplement VA, VB, VE and other vitamins, improve the quality of sperm, female ovulation and lactation ability, ensure the quiet environment, reduce unnecessary stress stimulation factors. Ensure that the pool water is clean, prevent the occurrence of diseases, it is strictly prohibited to catch muskrat frequently, to prevent abortion or death.

Five links should be emphasized in summer management, namely, ensuring sufficient nutrition, providing quiet and shaded environment, repeatedly providing bath water, preventing the occurrence and development of diseases, and improving the survival rate of young muskrats.

Feed: summer feed quality should be good, feed should be diverse, green feed should be fresh, palatability is good, to increase vitamins, animal feed supply. To ensure breeding, breeding nutrition needs. In summer, breeding, pregnancy, farrowing and rearing are carried out simultaneously, so the thinking requirements are strict. The nutrition standard of muskrat in summer can refer to the standard of muskrat breeding period.

Quietness: Muskrat breeding, farrowing and rearing can be carried out simultaneously in summer, because muskrat is a multiparous animal, and can accept re-breeding (blood mating) within a few days after farrowing, and at the same time, it is necessary to nurse young rats, and it is also possible to nurse the breeding of first or second young rats. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the quietness of the venue. The movement of the breeding personnel is required to be light, avoid making strong noise, absolutely prohibit arbitrary inspection of the nest type, and refuse all external visits. In addition, breeding and management personnel should not wear heavy makeup to minimize stress factors and strong stimuli. Ensure muskrats are quiet through mating, pregnancy, litter and breeding. Water supply: water supply is an important link in raising muskrat in summer. In summer, water supply should be timely, frequently changed and hygienic. In southern areas, water should be changed twice a day, and drinking tanks should be added if necessary. The pool is necessary for muskrats to play, breed, defecate, waste, transport food and cool down. Therefore, water supply is also a key measure to improve the birth and survival of muskrat.

Disease prevention: summer is prone to various diseases, especially in the rainy season, muskrat breeding should also implement the principle of prevention over treatment, to establish a strict feed management system, live disease from the mouth. It is necessary to establish epidemic prevention and disinfection systems for fields and tools to prevent disease transmission. Report the disease in time, and control the timely prevention and control. In rainy days, should generally be fed olaquindox 2.0 mg per 10, disease prevention, muskrat is herbivorous animals, should be absolutely fasting antibiotics, to avoid digestive system diseases caused by intestinal flora disorder.

Success: Breeding is the fundamental problem of summer management and the ultimate goal. To ensure survival rate and breeding rate, we must achieve reasonable rations, fine management, timely separation, pay attention to epidemic prevention.

The concentrate of the brood of the young muskrat shall be supplied in sufficient quantity according to the feed formula of the breeding period of the muskrat, and the concentrate of the young muskrat which has produced the second or third fetus before the brood is divided shall be supplied in sufficient quantity according to the feed formula of the breeding period, and multiple vitamins and bone powder shall be supplemented in the concentrate. To ensure the growth and development of young mice. Coarse fodder is fed in sufficient quantities of fresh grass. In terms of management, ensure that the water supply and water quality are clean, the water in the pool should be sufficient, and pay close attention to the leakage of the pool, so as to prevent the young muskrats from drowning due to the low water level and unable to climb into the nest room or go to the sports ground. Generally, the water surface of the pool water is required to seal the hole or not less than 5 cm. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the domestication management, put the scattered materials mixed with water, and ensure that the young rats eat on the food table of the sports ground, so as to contact with the breeding personnel for a long time, so that they are not afraid of life, do not panic, and are easy to raise. Feeding loose feed can also avoid taking concentrate back to the nest to store a large number of moldy, induce pups disease and difficult to observe food intake. After litter division, 5-10 pups can be raised in family groups to avoid disturbing the pedigree and affecting the quality of the mice.

Litter division should be timely, otherwise when female rats give birth to the second or third strand, the first fetal rats will be moved to the corner of the litter room. Therefore, the litter structure will be designed into a floor structure, which is conducive to multiple litters. In order to give older muskrats free litters, but also do not have to prematurely separate the first fetus rats, when the second fetus is about to give birth, the first fetus and the second fetus will be collectively separated and bred in the same litter. This breeding effect is the last, epidemic prevention is the guarantee of muskrat breeding, should be strictly implemented according to epidemic prevention regulations. In addition, olaquindox was given to 10 mice in rainy season at 2.0 mg.
