Daily management experience of pregnant mother Tibetan mastiff

Pregnancy is in a special physiological stage. At this time, with the increasing development of embryos, the burden of bitches is also increasing, and the requirements for feed and environment are more stringent and the standards are higher. Strengthening the daily management of pregnant female Tibetan mastiff is of great significance to ensure the safe delivery of pregnant bitches. In particular, most bitches are relatively weak at this time, and mismanagement is extremely prone to accidents.

1. Scientific feeding should be given nutritionally scientific and full-price feed. As mentioned earlier, in addition to supplying or gradually increasing the amount of feed according to the development of pregnancy, the pregnant female Tibetan mastiff should also be supplemented with foods that are digestible and rich in protein, vitamins and minerals (especially calcium and phosphorus). Such as meat, animal offal, eggs, milk and fresh vegetables to fully meet the nutritional needs of bitches and their embryos. 2. Timely epidemic prevention in order to ensure the health and prevention of the female Tibetan mastiff, in addition to normal immune prevention before and after estrus (September-October of each year), vaccination should be given as far as possible in the final stage of pregnancy, that is, near the 20th day of delivery, an additional vaccination should be given. In this way, even if the bitch is born and physically weak, it is enough to avoid the invasion of severe infectious diseases such as canine distemper and canine parvovirus enteritis. At the same time, it is more helpful to make newborn puppies obtain more maternal J-victory antibodies through breast milk, so that they still have strong disease resistance when newborn puppies are weaned (coinciding with the stage of epidemic disease in spring). It can effectively resist the attack of canine infectious diseases on puppies in spring. Practice has also proved that this kind of puppy which can obtain high level of antibody in female milk can have strong physique and good growth and development after weaning, and can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality of weaned puppies. 3. The supply of clean drinking water is very important at all times. For pregnant bitches, if drinking water is not clean, causing gastrointestinal diseases and gastrointestinal inflammation or spasms, the bitches will cause miscarriage due to vomiting and other reasons; feed with cold feed and ice water to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract of the bitches, it is also easy to cause gastrointestinal allergies, resulting in spasms and abortion. Therefore, in the cold season, feeding pregnant bitches must pay attention to food temperature and water temperature. Generally, the amount of food or drinking water should be kept at 18 ℃ ~ 25 ℃. 4. adhere to outdoor activities every day to ensure that bitches have 2-3 hours of outdoor activities, more sun exposure and more activities, which can not only enhance the appetite of bitches, improve digestive ability, improve the nutritional level and body condition of bitches, but also promote the development of the fetus. Smooth delivery. However, it should be noted that the female Tibetan mastiff is more arrogant in pregnancy, and activities alone, do not put 2 bitches outdoors at the same time, otherwise it is easy to bite and cause accidents. The outdoor activity time of the mother Tibetan mastiff should not be too long, the activity should not be too intense, should not run fast, cross the ridge, cross the ditch, in order to avoid abortion. After 50 days of pregnancy, the bitch has obvious mobility difficulties, at this time the movement is slow, very quiet and inactive. Forced activities should no longer be forced in the form of traction, but should be natural. Let it wander freely, bask in the sun more, and should pay attention to arrange a clean and spacious shed as a production circle. 5. To maintain the sanitary production circle, the light should be sufficient, the wind should be sunny, quiet and dry, and should be disinfected every day. The litter is covered with clean, soft hay to allow the bitch to rest or sleep early in the nest to prevent the bitch from lying on cold, hard ground. At the same time, in order to ensure the postpartum health of the bitch, we should pay great attention to the health of the dog in the later stage of pregnancy, brush the dog every day and remove the dirt from depilation and adhesion on the dog. A few days before the bitch is about to give birth, scrub her abdomen and vulva with disinfectant or soapy water as much as possible, then rinse and dry with clean water. This can not only avoid postpartum infection, but also improve the blood circulation of the bitch's breast and prevent breast inflammation.
