Practical Techniques for Breeding Meat Dogs

⒈ feed should be diversified. Dogs need a lot of nutrients, a simple feed is not balanced, not comprehensive. Therefore, a variety of feed must cooperate with each other in order to meet the needs of the growth and development of meat dogs.

⒉ reasonable preparation of feed. Different preparation methods should be adopted according to different feed. Attention should be paid to washing and cutting roots, tubers and green fodder. Soybeans and feed rich in carbohydrates should be cooked before feeding.

⒊ "Siding" feeding. Feeding should be fixed in time, quantity, temperature and quality. Regular feeding can make dogs form conditioned reflexes, which is beneficial to improve feed utilization rate. Generally, dogs can be fed twice a day, and puppies can be fed twice a day. Quantitative, that is, according to the dog's age, growth stage to provide a certain amount of feed, not too much or too little, generally fed 80% to 90% full. Fixed temperature is to adjust the temperature of feed and drinking water according to different seasons to make it warm in winter, cool in summer and warm in spring and autumn. Quality is to ensure the quality of feed, rotten food can not be fed.

⒋ changed feed step by step. The replacement of feed should be gradually increased or decreased, not all at once, otherwise it is easy to cause indigestion.

⒌, pay attention to drinking water. When drinking water, we should pay attention to water quality, water temperature, water quantity and time. Drinking water should be clean and should not contain harmful substances, pathogenic microorganisms and so on. The amount of drinking water varies in different seasons, and the amount of drinking water in summer is the most, generally uninterrupted. The water temperature should be suitable, drinking cold water in summer and warm water in winter, late autumn and early spring. The time to drink water should be chosen after eating.

⒍ utensils should be dedicated. Each or several dogs use one utensil, do not change, and should be cleaned and disinfected after use, usually once a week.

⒎ feeding is taboo. First, avoid strenuous activities before feeding, second, avoid eating chicken bones, pig bones, fish bones, three taboos to eat squid, octopus, crabs, chili, pepper, sugar, etc., four taboos to feed raw meat, and five taboos to boil and feed vegetables and meat.

⒏ pays attention to the hygiene of the kennel. Clean the kennel once or twice a day, remove the faeces in time, change the mat grass frequently, and keep it clean and dry. At the same time, regular disinfection is required. The commonly used disinfectants are 3%-0.5% Lysol, 10%-20% bleach emulsion, 0.3%-0.5% peracetic acid, etc.

⒐ keeps the kennel quiet. Dogs have a particularly sensitive sense of hearing, and abnormal sounds can cause unease in dogs, especially in pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and mating.

⒑ exercises properly. Proper exercise can improve the breeding ability of male dogs and the fecundity of female dogs, and promote the growth and development of puppies and reserve dogs. Meat dogs in the later stage of growth should appropriately reduce the amount of exercise in order to improve the growth rate.

⒒ protects against heat and cold. The kennel should be ventilated and transparent, and pay attention to heat prevention in summer. Trees can be planted around the kennel, grape trellis can be built, pumpkin and towel gourd can be planted, and so on. We should pay attention to keeping warm in winter. The standard temperature in the kennel is 13: 15 ℃ in winter and 21: 24 ℃ in summer. The humidity in the kennel is kept at 50% 60%.
