Three main points of raising meat donkey

Meat donkey is a newly developed rich project of special breeding industry in Shandong Province. according to its own feeding characteristics, that is, strong adaptability, wide diet, fast growth, herbivore, strong disease resistance, high survival rate, easy feeding, good economic benefits, etc., our association summarized several key points of meat donkey breeding.

(1) seed selection. Donkeys in China are divided into three categories according to their physical size: large donkeys are Shaanxi Guanzhong donkey and Shandong Dezhou donkey (Bohai donkey), weighing between 250 kg and 290 kg, and breeding male donkeys are also more than 350 kg. Medium donkeys are Shanxi Jinnan donkey, Guangling donkey, Henan Huaiyang donkey, Gansu Qingyang donkey, weighing between 220 kg and 250 kg, and breeding male donkeys over 300 kg. Small donkeys include Henan donkey, Shaanxi Gunsha donkey, Inner Mongolia Kulun donkey, Ningxia Xiji donkey, Gansu Liangzhou donkey, Sichuan donkey, Yunnan donkey, Xizang donkey and Liaoning donkey. Meat-raising donkeys should choose medium-sized donkeys, followed by large donkeys, while small donkeys are mostly used to make donkey gelatin, and their meat is also put on the market. 1. Choose female donkeys with good parental lines. 2. Choose female donkeys with exuberant appetite, fast growth, over 2 years old and weight above 100kg. (2) mating 1. The female donkey must reach 2 years old and weigh more than 150kg. 2. Adopt the principle of "early match, late match and middle match" in the estrus of the female donkey. 3. The female donkey must give birth to a foal in a mild climate in spring, that is, mating from June to July and foal from March to April. (3) feeding donkeys to fatten 1, newly purchased donkeys, drinking water on the first day, drinking water on the second day, adding grass or hay on the second day, drinking water on the third day, freely eating grass or hay, adding 0.5 kg of wheat bran, and 1 kg of corn from the 4th to 6th day. 2. After a 6-day transition period, you can enter the fattening period, and feed freely on cereal straw, cottonseed husk, soybean straw, corn straw, etc.; the mixed concentrate is fed 3.5 kg ~ 4 kg per day, which is composed of cottonseed cake or soybean meal, peanut cake 50%, corn flour 29%, wheat bran 20%, salt 1%, and 20 grams of sodium bicarbonate per day. 3. During fattening, exercise should be restricted, clean drinking water should be provided, donkeys should be brushed every day, and the enclosure and surrounding environment should be kept dry and hygienic. It can be slaughtered after fattening for 60 ~ 70 days. Young donkey fattening 1, purchased donkey deworming, not castrated, according to sex, weight trough feeding. 2. The newborn donkey ate colostrum for 6 days, breast-fed after 7 days, and trained to eat gruel made from corn, wheat and millet at the age of 15 days. Add a little sugar to induce the donkey to eat and feed 10g ~ 20g a day. The formula is as follows: soybean meal plus cottonseed cake 50%, corn flour 29%, wheat bran 20%, salt 1%, 100g ~ 200g per donkey at the age of 1 month, 500g ~ 1000 g at the age of 2 months, 3.5kg after the age of 9 months, and 500kg concentrate for the whole fattening period. If the cottonseed is fried yellow or cooked until expanded and cracked, each donkey is fed 1 kg a day, the fattening effect is better. 4. Forage should be free to feed, choose cereal grass, soybean straw, peanut seedlings, sweet potato vines, silage corn with ears, and high quality forage grass. 5. Feed four times in the morning, in the middle of the night and at night. The farmer says, "the horse can't get fat." so does the donkey, emphasizing the need to mix night grass to feed. The agricultural proverb "Grass Fat material strengthens Water Spirit" says that only by eating more grass can you gain weight. 6. when feeding, pay attention to less feeding frequently, mix to the four corners, drink enough water, and replenish salt in the right amount. 7. Brush the donkey body every day, remove feces and urine, and clean the trough. 8. Every 20 ~ 25 donkeys move freely, eat roughage freely, drink water freely and eat salt freely.
