Breeding techniques of forest musk deer: how to raise young musk deer and what nutrients are needed

The requirement of raising young musk deer is to ensure that the young musk deer live free from disease and cultivate them with excellent production performance. So how do you raise it? Let's take a look.

In the process of growth and development, the body weight and body size of young musk deer are increasing, and their metabolism is very exuberant. With the proliferation of a large number of tissues and cells, each tube system is growing at different rates. This complex regularity depends on various environmental conditions, especially closely related to good feeding and management conditions. Good nutritional regulation can accelerate the growth of young musk deer, gain weight, accelerate sexual maturity and have higher production capacity.

Nutritional requirements of young musk deer

In the young stage of musk deer, due to the rapid growth rate, its protein metabolism is also stronger, and more proteins are deposited in the body. With the increase of age, the protein metabolism decreases, and the protein deposited in the body decreases gradually. The heat energy needed for the growth of young musk deer is mainly used for basic metabolism, growth, all kinds of exercise, digestion and absorption. Under normal feeding conditions, with the growth of musk deer, most of the body fat accumulated in subcutaneous tissue, muscle connective tissue and abdominal cavity.

The normal growth of bones is related to the supply of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. The reasonable ratio of calcium to phosphorus in young musk deer was about 1.5-2:1 in the early growth stage and 1-1.2 in the later growth stage. Insufficient supply of calcium and phosphorus can make bones crisp and not solid, and in severe cases can develop into rickets or rickets. The metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in young musk also had certain rules in different growth stages. more calcium and phosphorus were deposited in metabolism in the early stage of growth and less in metabolism in the later stage of growth. Light plays an important role in the growth of bones, and young musk deer who often bask in the sun rarely have rickets. The diet of young musk deer needs not only adequate supply of calcium and phosphorus, but also a proper proportion of calcium and phosphorus in order to ensure the normal growth of bones.
