What is the direction and prospect of porcupine breeding?

Porcupine is actually a third-class protected animal in the country. When it is on the verge of extinction, it is listed in the national wildlife protection list. But in recent years, as the nutritional value of porcupine is well known, more and more people engage in porcupine farming, so what is the direction and prospect of porcupine breeding? Let's take a look at it together.

First, what is the direction and prospect of porcupine farming?

1. From the perspective of economic value, (1) High edible value, porcupine is known as "ginseng" in meat because of its high nutritional value. It is a top-class dish on the contemporary table and is deeply loved by diners. (2) the medicinal value is high. Porcupine, porcupine thorn, and its organs can be used in medicine, with high medicinal value, it can be said that the whole body is covered with treasures. (3) it has unique ornamental value. On display at the zoo. (4) technological value. Porcupine thorns can be used to make floating, high-end accessories.

2. From the perspective of modern dietary concept: porcupine meat is tender and nutritious, whether steamed. Boil. Fried or stewed. Make a pot. Roasted all taste delicious, unique flavor, it can be said to be a first-class mountain game. Porcupine has excellent characteristics such as high protein, high glutamate, low fat, low cholesterol and good taste, which accords with the scientific dietary concept of modern nutrition and health care, and is favored by consumers.

3. From the perspective of the consumer market, Guangzhou is still the only mature consumer market in China. Guangzhou consumes about 40,000 porcupine a year, consuming 75% of the country's commercial porcupine, and 90% of the domestic market remains to be developed, which shows that the market potential is great.

4. From the perspective of breeding risk, the immunity of porcupine. The disease resistance is very strong, there is no vaccination for life, the disease is rare, and it is easy to treat. No large-scale population disease or death has been found in history, so the risk is lower than that of other projects.

2. Key points of porcupine breeding

1. Feed quality

In the process of raising porcupine, many people like to ask about green feed and cook it before feeding, but we do not know that this is harmful to the growth of porcupine, not only the original nutrition of the feed is not as much as before boiling, and it is easy to cause porcupine food poisoning, so it must not be cooked when raising. Feed. It's okay to mash it. More importantly, we should pay attention to the fact that we cannot feed moldy and unhygienic feed. We must feed the fresh grass picked that day, otherwise it is likely to cause porcupine poisoning.

2. Feeding

As we just said, many friends usually feed some green feed when raising porcupine. Although green feed is more suitable for the growth of porcupine, it contains incomplete ingredients after all. Therefore, when raising porcupine, we can not only feed green feed, nor can we feed too much, especially those puppies, because the puppies have been eliminated. The chemical system has not yet been fully formed, and green feed contains a lot of water. If fed too much, it can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal diseases.

3. Emergency measures

In the process of raising pigs, we can control manually, such as feed and pig houses, but natural disasters are difficult to predict.

Therefore, corresponding emergency measures should be taken according to different weather conditions. For example, in spring, the temperature has not fully recovered, and the temperature difference between day and night is also very large, so we should do a good job of cold prevention for pigs in time.
