The latest mink breeding technology

When it comes to minks, I think we are all very familiar with it. Although mink breeding is not particularly common, it is widely used in industry. Like the clothes we usually wear, a lot of hair is made of mink hair.

The latest mink culture technology

Mink breeding is very seasonal, which depends on regional experience and climatic conditions, and it is more suitable in the first and middle of March. Specifically master the following links:

1. Preparation before mating: pay attention to the body condition of mink from December, take the lean meat of fresh marine fish as the main ingredient, and supplement vitamins A, D, E, B, etc., so that the mink can achieve a flat abdomen, uniform body weighing, plump and strong muscles, flexible action and exuberant libido.

2. Strengthen heterosexual stimulation and improve male mink libido: from late February, male and female mink cages were empty arranged or put into string cages to tease the male mink cage, so as to enhance the male mink libido.

3. Identification of estrus: examination of external genitalia and comprehensive judgment combined with activity performance. The male mink is restless and has a loss of appetite, often wandering around in the cage and making a "squeaky" sound. When the female mink is in estrus, she is excited, tends to be of the opposite sex, urinates more frequently or lies at the bottom of the cage. Observing the external genitalia, we can see that the indumentum around the external genitalia is slightly separated, the labia is congested, swollen and slightly valgus, the mucous membrane is moist white or pink, and there is white or yellow mucus outflow, which is a suitable mating period. The special premix can improve the production performance of the mother animal and concentrate the estrus of the breeding animal.

4. Adopt reasonable mating mode: according to the characteristics of female mink cycle estrus, the combination of cycle compounding and parallel mating is adopted, that is, in the first two days of an estrous cycle, it is matched once a day, and then repeated every 7-8 days. For the hard-to-match female mink, a string of about 80 centimeters can be tied to the tail of the female mink in three places to fix it in the cage wall, so that the vulva is exposed to facilitate the mating of male minks, and the effect is very good.

How much is a mink for breeding?

The lowest price of pet marten is 2000 yuan, and the price of a good breed is as high as 20, 000 yuan, so the price is very high because it is difficult to breed marten. The price of mink is set according to the coat color, such as the pet mink with panda color in the store is more than 3000 yuan.

As we all know, minks have a very strong smell, not only smelly, but also difficult to remove once contaminated. Therefore, before entering the pet market, they need deodorization gland surgery, in addition to deodorization gland surgery, pet mink also need chip transfer surgery and birth control surgery. Minks are very picky and can't be fed casually. Feeding minks must give them special mink food, and mink average monthly mink food cost about 100 yuan, in addition, there is no other cost of raising minks, pet minks like cats like clean, fixed-point excretion. So when you decide to keep a pet mink, you should also consider the cost of keeping it.

Do you make money by raising minks?

1. Mink is one of the main products in the international precious fur market.

From the history of fur trade in the international market, mink has always been one of the pillar products. The breeding of precious fur animals at home and abroad is bound to form a mink-based situation and pattern.

2. The market prospect of mink is better than that of large capillaries such as fox and raccoon dog.

From the point of view of the quality and value of mink, its utilization rate is also higher than that of large capillaries such as fox and mink skin, especially in the domestic market. Mink is famous for its short plush, bright and luxurious. It is the main raw material for making clothes, collars, hats, cuffs and ornaments. It is widely used and in great demand.

Because the fur is thicker and longer than mink and not as gorgeous as mink, the domestic market is not suitable for making coats, but only suitable for making collars, cuffs, shawls and other accessories, so the utilization rate is lower than mink. Thus it can be seen that the development prospect of small capillaries dominated by minks is better than that of large capillaries such as foxes and raccoons.

3. The market of mink is stable, and the price is rising steadily.

The market order of mink is good, and the market situation has been more stable than foxes and raccoons, and it has shown a steady upward trend in recent years. The law of high quality and high price embodied in the mink market not only greatly increases the price of colored mink skin, but also creates an opportunity for mink breeders to accelerate population improvement, produce marketable high-quality fur and improve economic benefits.

4. Mink production has great potential for development.

At present, the amount of mink breeding in China is less than that of foxes, which shows the development potential of mink breeding. The number of domestic foxes, especially Arctic foxes, is higher than that of minks, which is driven by the short-term benefits of the current market. With the changes in the market of foxes and skins, the focus of breeding will definitely shift to minks in the near future, which will further enhance the development potential of mink farming.

5. Mink breeding is a good project for farmers to get rich.

Mink breeding technology is mature, a wide range of feed sources, mink environmental requirements are not strict, strong adaptability, farmers can be based on funds, sites and other conditions to determine the breeding scale, as long as strengthen feeding management, can receive better economic benefits. Compared with special breeding projects such as scorpion, entertainment pede, wild boar, leech, etc., the market is stable, the operation risk is low, and the economic benefit is good.

6. Seize the opportunity to speed up the development of mink breeding industry.

In order to seize the opportunity and speed up the development of mink breeding industry, it is the key to change ideas and improve product quality.

The present situation of mink breeding industry

China's mink breeding industry has roughly experienced the state-supported development stage (1956-1978), scale development stage (80s of the 20th century) and development adjustment stage (since 1990s). Since 1956, the state has successively supported the establishment of mink farms in Northeast, North, Northwest and East China. by the end of 1978, the number of mink farms had reached 300000, more than 2000 mink farms and an annual output of more than 750000 mink skins. Since 1980, there have been many individual mink farmers, which makes the scale of mink breeding expand rapidly.

In 1988, the scale of mink farming in China reached the highest level in history. China has developed nearly 3000 mink farms, more than 3 million mink breeds, 6 million skins, 3.3 million mink skins exported, and foreign exchange of about 200 million US dollars. China's mink skin production accounts for more than 10% of the world's total output. After 1989, China's foreign trade system has been reformed, mink and other precious furs have changed from unified export to open management, coupled with the blind development in the later stage and other reasons, China's fur animal breeding industry has been at a low ebb for five consecutive years.

At present, with the continuous development of China's aquaculture industry, many aquaculture in our country are developing very well. Mink has a large market demand not only at home but also abroad, but its breeding cost is relatively high. Breeders can decide according to their own economic conditions.
