The method of raising Muskrat in Spring

Spring coincides with the preparation period and early stage of mating of muskrat. In order to ensure the normal mating, breeding should be carried out as follows:

First, to prepare a reasonable diet, using the concentrate feed of musk mice during the breeding period and adding necessary vitamins and other additives to comprehensively check the body condition and the condition of female and male spouses of muskrats.

Second, strive for early water supply to the pool and do a good job in epidemic prevention and disease prevention.

Third, the diet should ensure that there are enough protein and vitamins a, b, d. The amount of feeding should be controlled flexibly. Generally speaking, muskrats will not be overfed. At this time, the amount of concentrate should be given enough, and there is no leftover food in the muskrat table. Concentrate should be mixed with boiling water or tap water. It is generally appropriate to pick it up with your hands and spread it out naturally after putting it down, so as to prevent muskrats from taking the concentrate into the nest for long-term storage and spoilage. In order to ensure a healthy body condition during the breeding period, the diet is mainly based on roughage, with cabbage, carrots and willow branches in the north, and grass buds and willow branches in the south as much as possible. supplement cabbage, carrots and a small amount of green onions (about 10 grams). In late spring, feeding tender grass instead of vegetables can not only further promote the development of sexual function, but also give muskrats the signal of breeding and reproduction, which is beneficial to breeding. However, it is necessary to increase or decrease flexibly according to the diet of muskrats. If you have the conditions, you can add drinking fountains on the sports net. generally, the concentrate is fed at 3: 00 p. M. at 4: 00 p. M. and flexibly replenished at 8: 00 in the morning according to the eating situation.

4. during the breeding period, we should pay attention to observation and find that the obvious mating of muskrat marriage play (singing, chasing, climbing) should be recorded litter by litter, and must not be misremembered or omitted, in order to verify whether the musk musk rat is in estrus again after 30 days (blood mating). At this time, nutrition should be strengthened, it is best to feed concentrate feed with cow's and sheep's milk, and add some malt appropriately, which is beneficial to the multiple births of musk mice.
