Is a mammal pig badger a protected animal? What do you eat to grow up? How much is it per jin? What's the difference between dog badger and badger?

Pig badger, also known as sand badger, mountain badger, is a common mammal in hills, broad-leaved forests and other mountain areas. it is raised as a special agricultural project because of its high value. at present, many people raise it artificially. Is the pig badger a protected animal? What do you eat to grow up? How much is it per jin? What's the difference between dog badger and badger?

Is it protecting animals?

Yes, the population of pig badgers is not fragmented and is common in the Lao people's Democratic Republic, Thailand, the high mountains of Sumatra, Indonesia, and southwestern and eastern Cambodia. The decline in the abundance of this species in Myanmar can be explained by the decrease in the number of witnesses. The results show that the quantitative trend of pig badger population may be different in its distribution range, but the overall population shows a downward trend. It has been included in the 2008 Red list of Endangered species of the World Conservation Union (IUCN).

What to eat?

Its food habits are miscellaneous, especially animal foods, including earthworms, frogs, lizards, Loach, Monopterus Albus, mole cricket, longicorn beetles and rodents, as well as plant foods, sometimes stealing crops such as corn, wheat, sweet potatoes and peanuts. Of course, you can also configure your own feed.

Plant feeds include peanuts, soybeans, corn, millet, dried melons, all kinds of potatoes and melons, vegetables, etc., and animal feeds include all kinds of livestock and poultry meat, frogs, rats, insects and so on. In the selection of feed sources, plant feed should be given priority to according to the local reality, and animal feed should be added properly. on the premise of meeting the nutritional needs, whole grains and food processing leftovers can be used as raw materials for badger rations, and the cheaper the price, the better. When feeding, it is best to mix plant feed with animal feed reasonably. In the non-breeding period of badgers, carbohydrate feed should be given priority to, and some protein feed should be properly matched.

Latest price:

According to market research, the price of pig badger is about 15-30 yuan per jin, and the wild one is about 100 yuan. Due to different regions, the price of pig badger may be different.

The difference between a badger and a badger:

A badger looks like a puppy and is fatter than a puppy, while the badger's nose pad and upper lip are exposed, and the kiss nose is long and narrow, much like a pig's nose. The dog badger has four legs higher than the pig badger, its head is narrower than the pig badger's head, its canine teeth are longer than the pig badger's, its claws are more compact than the pig badger's, it is not as flat as the pig badger's, it is more like the dog's claws, and its fingernails are not as long as the pig badger's.

Culture techniques:

I. Field Circle Construction

Choose a flat, leeward, quiet, well-drained place to build a house. Build a garden of 15 square meters and 20 square meters in a more secluded place, surrounded by a 2-meter-high wall of stone or cement brick. The rockery is made of stone inside the wall, and several caves are built around the rockery. The top of the cave should be firm to prevent water leakage. Put some soft hay or leaves in the cave, and the area of the enclosure, the size of the rockery and the number of caves depend on the number of badgers raised. Equipped with food basins and water fountains, due to the badger's strong ability to live, there is no need to keep warm strictly, just to prevent wind and snow, rain and direct sun, and cover the house with a shed cover.

2. Feeding

To achieve the "three decisions": at a certain time. Feed once a day, usually from 6 to 8 p.m., two doses. With the change of age, the adult badger is fed about 300 grams a day. Supply enough clean water and let the badger drink freely.

Third, strengthen the feeding of young badgers

Mainly do a good job of the "four hurdles": first, the temperature is off. The baby badger is usually born in April, although it is already early summer, but the weather in the north does not adapt to the temperature required by the young badger, so it is necessary to keep the temperature in the litter box up to 25 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. Because the young badger grows and develops on breast milk, and the young badger grows fast, it is necessary to increase the dietary nutrition level of the female badger, and the animal feed is up to 50%-55%, in order to avoid the phenomenon that the female badger eats the baby. The fourth is to divide the group. The young badger grows fast and is hairless at birth. It weighs about 60 grams at 6 days old, 100 grams at 10 days old, and 135 grams at 14 days old. It can live independently at 60 days old. Therefore, it is raised separately from the mother badger at 60 days old.

IV. Strict management and epidemic prevention

Badger has strong disease resistance, so prevention should be given priority to and epidemic prevention should be combined in management. First, the feeding should be fresh and free of pollutants; the second is to often clean the breeding ground, keep dry and sanitary, and disinfect regularly; third, the farm should be kept quiet to prevent strangers from entering. At the same time, we should also prevent the attack of domestic dogs and wild dogs. Fourth, treat illness as soon as possible. Badger has strong immunity, but under the condition of artificial domestication, common diseases such as enteritis and pneumonia have been found and treated in time.

5. Pig badger growth and reproduction

The fertilized eggs of pig badger have diapause and give birth from March to April of the following spring. Each fetus gives birth to 3-4 litters, and the lactation period is 3 months. The cub reached sexual maturity at the age of 2. The life span is about 10 years.

Under the condition of artificial breeding, the female badger reaches sexual maturity at about 1 year old and the male badger reaches sexual maturity at about 1.5 years old. It breeds once a year, usually from late July to early August, and gives birth from March to April in the following year. The gestation period is 210 to 240 days. Each fetus gives birth to 3 litters. The newborn badger weighs 15 grams, the body length is 13 cm, and the tail length is 3 cm. The newborn badger had a white coat and opened its eyes at the age of 33 to 38 days and cohabited with the female badger in the cave for 3 ~ 4 months. in the autumn, the young badger basically grew up and had the same size as the female badger.
