Key points of the construction of porcupine breeding house

When it comes to pigs, maybe many people should know more about pigs, but porcupine may not know much about it. In fact, wild porcupine is a national protected animal, precisely because wild porcupine is more loved by people. and wild resources are far from meeting people's needs, so there are so many people raising porcupines.

Key points of the construction of porcupine breeding house

1. Porcupine farms are required to be spacious, ventilated, breathable, daylighting and easy to clean.

2. The building of the porcupine breeding house is a brick structure, the height of the house is not less than 3 meters, and the size of the house depends on the topography and breeding scale.

3. The wall of porcupine breeding house should be equipped with multiple ventilation windows to facilitate air convection.

4. The water supply and power supply facilities in the porcupine farm should be safe and easy to operate.

Analysis on the prospect of porcupine breeding

According to the current market, porcupine occupies a large market in China. Porcupine is a very precious terrestrial herbal plant, which integrates meat, medicine and appreciation value, as well as high technological value. Porcupine is very popular with consumers, people's demand for porcupine accumulates day by day, and the supply of porcupine can not meet the demand of consumption growth.

Human beings have had the habit of eating porcupine throughout history. Now, with the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of tourism, the structure of meat is also changing. People are very concerned about the rationality of food nutrients. Eating wild vegetables, weeds, wild birds and wild beasts has become a new taste, new elegance, new fashion and new trend.

Hotels and restaurants in coastal cities in northwest China are particularly fond of porky pork. The demand is increasing rapidly. Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and other regions are regarded as nutrition, health care treasures, the price is expensive, the market is extremely popular. With wild resources increasingly dry and facing extinction, the government has listed porcupine as a protected animal to stop hunting.

Therefore, domestication, breeding, development and application of this kind of porcupine with special value, special nutrition, special flavor and special purpose has special significance, and the special breeding industry with the most development and application value has a very broad market prospect.

Breeding advantages of porcupine

1. Feed is common, and it does not compete with people for food, nor with pigs and sheep. Porcupines are similar to ordinary livestock in terms of food. They eat miscellaneous foods but eat less. Edible vegetarian foods such as corn, sweet potatoes and soybeans are their delicacies. It takes the roots, stems, branches, leaves and roots of a variety of plants as the staple food, accounting for 80-90% of the feed.

According to the eating habits and nutritional requirements of porcupine, the feed can be fed after the feed is mixed in proportion. About 500-800 grams a day, it eats less concentrate, and each head is fed with corn flour, wheat bran or rice bran and rice 200-250 grams a day, with a cost of 30 cents. Melon, fruit and vegetable feed is usually fed in the morning and should be washed and sterilized before feeding. As long as they are fed, it will put on weight and give birth to cubs, and a porcupine consumes about 120 yuan in feed cost a year.

2. Fence houses are simple, and rural hillsides, caves, empty houses and pig houses can all build nests for feeding, as long as there is water and fodder land. It can be said that any rural family has such breeding conditions, and porcupine breeding is very easy to carry out.

3. it is easy to raise and manage, and feed twice in the morning and evening every day. It can also be fed once a night, the enclosure can be cleaned once a day, and the whole plant of green feed can be fed without cutting, cutting, steaming and boiling. An ordinary labor year can raise 400-500 heads. If a large number of people are not required to keep watch, the labor intensity is low, and ordinary farmers can raise them.

4, clean and sanitary, porcupine does not pull feces and urine everywhere, each feeding room designs a dung pit, it will consciously pull feces and urine into the pit, it is not difficult to clean.

5, strong disease resistance, no plague, do not vaccinate, rarely get sick, only need to feed and manage in place, rarely die. There is no need to use any additives or hormones, just give oxytetracycline calcium salt a few times to prevent intestinal diseases during the peak bacterial season in spring plum drought.

6. In the aspect of reproduction: under the condition of artificial feeding, the growth rate is fast, and the body weight can reach about 13 kg in eight months and become an adult pig. The porcupine can reach sexual maturity in eight months, and the artificially raised porcupine can mate in estrus all the year round, but the estrus mating is more prosperous in spring and autumn, when the porcupine activity time increases and the intensity increases. A male porcupine usually copulates with a female porcupine for 2-3 times, consuming a lot, and food intake is also increased.

Construction method of porcupine farm

1. Pig house: the ideal pig house is an important basic condition for pig production. Whether the construction of pig house is reasonable or not directly affects the health of porcupine, the exertion of productivity and the labor efficiency of breeders, so the construction of pig house is very important. To raise porcupine, we choose a seat facing north to south, with good drainage conditions, thick soil layer and hilly slopes with trees.

2. Floor: the floor of porcupine house should be solid, durable, moistureproof and slippery, so most of the enclosure floor adopts concrete floor. It is characterized by strong and durable, easy to clean and disinfect. However, it is not conducive to the heat preservation of female porcupine and piglet, and wooden boards or straw can be placed on the ground in winter.

3. Roof: the roof plays the role of shielding wind and rain and heat preservation, and should have the characteristics of waterproofing, heat preservation, load-bearing and so on. Most porcupine farms use asbestos tile or small green tile double-slope roof.

4. Drinking water equipment: modern porcupine farms use automatic drinking fountains, which can supply pigs with drinking water at any time and ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of drinking water. Automatic drinking fountains can be divided into four types: duckbill type, nipple type, sucking type and cup type.

5. Aisles and aisles: one aisle is provided for single-row or double-row pig houses, and two aisles are provided for four-row pig houses. The aisle should not be too wide or too narrow. The aisle of breeding porcupine is 1.2 meters wide, and one meter of commercial porcupine is enough.

6. Defecation ditch: the defecation ditch in the pig pen should be covered with leaky floor or steel bar, at least 20 cm wide, not too wide, 2-3 cm on it.

7. Pool: the length of the pool is (150-200) cm, the width (120-180) cm and the height (80-100) cm.

When it comes to porcupine breeding, I think everyone is not particularly familiar with it. After all, porcupine breeding is not particularly common in the market, and the breeding cost of porcupine is higher than that of our usual pigs, so the risk it has to bear is slightly higher.
