Mink breeding should beware of heatstroke in summer

1. Characteristics. In the hot summer season, the temperature is high, the humidity is high, the weather is muggy, and the poor ventilation of the mink shed makes the hot sun directly into the mink body. If the drinking water is insufficient, so that the mink body heat can not be distributed, it will cause brain congestion or advanced nerve center paralysis. The mink's body temperature increased significantly after heatstroke and could be seen as flushing mucosa dry nose and severe thirst.

two。 Symptoms. At the beginning of the disease, the mink showed restlessness, and then lay stiff, paralyzed hindquarters, gasping for breath and screaming. With the development of the disease, the mink appeared head tremor, shaking, unstable walking, self-foaming at the mouth, vomiting and other symptoms, and finally died of coma and general spasm. 3. Prevention and treatment. In hot summer, sunshade measures should be taken for sheds and cages in the birth area, such as covering the soil of cage boxes with green firewood and grass, surrounded by sunshade nets, and planting melons and beans in the sheds to avoid direct sunlight. But once you go, you should pay attention to maintaining good ventilation and sprinkle water in the shed if necessary. When you get sick, you can move the sick mink to a cool and well-ventilated place, and apply cold water to the head or enema. In order to make the mink's body temperature drop rapidly and enhance heart function, it can be injected intramuscularly with 1 ml of antongding, 0.3-0.5 ml of nikethamide and 20-30 ml of glucose and sodium chloride subcutaneously.
