What is a sika deer? How should we breed it?

We have all read fairy tales. And there are often little sika deer in the story. But now, due to excessive hunting, the number of wild sika deer is very small, the distribution is dispersed, and is listed as endangered animals. In northeast Liaoning, Jilin and other places have been artificially farmed sika deer, breeding up to hundreds of thousands, then in the end what is sika deer? How do we raise sika deer?

What is a sika deer?

Sika deer is a small and medium-sized deer with a slightly round head, a long face, large round eyes, a black nose, a fissure in the suborbital gland, a pair of obvious lacrimal fossa, long and upright ears, long necks and limbs, and a short tail. Because on both sides of the back and the lower edge of the body are inlaid with many orderly white spots, shaped like plum blossoms, it is named "sika deer".

Sika deer is endemic to eastern Asia, which is mainly distributed in eastern China, Japan and Russia. China is mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, western Zhejiang, southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guangzhou, Jilin, Liaoning and other limited regions. Sika deer have been introduced into many countries in the world, such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Poland, New Zealand, Ireland and so on. In China

Second, how to raise sika deer

1. Seed selection

A good variety can get twice the result with half the effort in the breeding process, and the selection of a suitable and excellent sika deer breed is also the most basic in breeding. we should choose a variety with strong disease resistance, lively character and high production performance. the best sika deer species do not have criminal record diseases, but also need to be selected according to the specific conditions of the market, such as price and demand, and so on.

2. Venue

In general, we will choose to build sika deer farms in dry, leeward and sunny areas with clean and adequate water sources and good drainage and irrigation when needed. And breeding is not suitable for too intensive, because sika deer is a more active animal, to ensure that each sika deer can have at least three square meters of activity space. Our farm also needs a matching sika deer sports ground, which is conducive to the activities of sika deer. Generally speaking, the fence of the deer farm should be more than four meters, because the sika deer can jump very high, so it is necessary to prevent the sika deer from jumping over the fence and escape.

3. Feed

The feed problem of artificially farmed sika deer is relatively easy to solve, and the sika deer has strong adaptability. In order to reduce the breeding cost, we can choose locally appropriate, moderately priced and abundant feed, and be careful not to feed moldy and deteriorated fodder. We should not feed it blindly, and we need to understand the habits of sika deer before making a choice.

4. Disease

The disease resistance of sika deer is relatively strong, as long as the correct management method is paid attention to in the process of artificial breeding, sika deer should be vaccinated regularly, the deer society should be cleaned regularly, and the sika deer should be cleaned and disinfected. ensuring that sika deer have a clean and tidy growing environment can reduce the incidence of sika deer disease
