Proper amount of salt should be fed to farmed minks.

In the process of mink breeding, each mink needs to be fed no more than 0.5 grams of salt every day in order to ensure its growth and development of salt requirements. However, if too much salt is added, or if the salt is mixed unevenly in the feed, it is easy to cause mink salt poisoning, which will affect the growth and development of minks, and may cause death in serious cases.

After mink salt poisoning, it is characterized by thirst, vomiting, salivation, shortness of breath, pupil diffusion, weakness of the whole body, purple visual mucosa, and gastroenteritis, and serious mouth spitting foam with blood. There are also minks with high excitement, dyskinesia, hoarse screams, cocked tail, dysentery and hypothermia after salt poisoning. Before he died, he would have limb spasms and showed a coma.

In order to prevent mink salt poisoning, the amount of salt added to each mink must be limited every day, and must be mixed well in the feed. If minks are found to have symptoms of salt poisoning, corresponding measures should be taken immediately: first, let the sick mink drink enough water immediately and feed as much milk as possible; then, halve the amount of sick mink and stop feeding salt, and each mink is fed 0.1 grams of sodium carbonate every day. At the same time, highly excited, restless sick minks should be treated with sedatives, and serious cases should be treated with 5% glucose injection, 10 ml-20 ml per head, subcutaneous injection.
