Key points of feeding and management of son deer

? Raising doe scientifically

To raise scientifically, one is to feed and water enough to make the female deer eat well, to improve the hygiene of the deer house, and to strengthen the domestication and movement of deer to prevent miscarriage caused by overweight or panic crowding or collision; second, the nutrition level should be relatively high. During this period, the concentrate amount of female deer should reach 1 kg ~ 1.25 kg per day, which is the highest in the whole year, including 30% ~ 35% of cake protein feed, 10 ~ 15 grams of calcium phosphate and 10 grams of salt. In principle, roughage should be good in quality, adequate in quantity and diversified.

? The female deer should give birth to "four sights".

First, it is necessary to see the symptoms of female deer giving birth, such as diet, lack of food, restlessness in walking, and so on. Second, you should see dew bubbles or "broken water", which is an important basis for determining whether it is difficult to give birth. For female deer dystocia, it is necessary to do three early: early detection, early diagnosis, early midwifery. Third, it is necessary to see the birth of the deer, because some first-born or hated deer have the abnormal behavior of scratching, beating, biting and abandoning the deer, and should be prevented in time when they see the abnormal behavior. Fourth, if you want to see the deer eat the colostrum, under normal circumstances, the deer can eat the colostrum half an hour to one hour after birth, and the deer who cannot eat the colostrum should be raised by the nanny or breast-fed artificially. The survival rate of the deer who ate the first milk only 12 hours or even 24 hours after birth is very low.

? Do a good job of artificial lactation for Zi deer

Artificial suckling deer must be fed colostrum, preferably for 3 days. Breast-feeding should be done at ① time, 4 times a day at 30 days old, 3 times a day at 31-60 days old, and 2-4 times a day from 61 days old to 75 days old. ② quantification: the deer were fed 800ml ~ 1000 ml on the first day, and then added 10ml ~ 20ml every day. After 60 days of age, due to feed intake, it can be reduced by 5ml ~ 10ml per day, of course, depending on the size of the deer and the appetite. ③ quality, to use disease-free cow's fresh milk (sheep's milk can also be boiled and sterilized). ④ constant temperature, 37 ℃ ~ 38 ℃ is the best. Daily cooking and disinfection of feeding utensils to improve environmental hygiene.

? Build a protective fence for the deer.

The protective fence of Zi deer is an important measure to ensure the safety of Zi deer, and it is wrong for some deer farms not to pay attention to it. First, the protective fence should be built high in the shed; second, there should be bedding grass, which should be often changed and exposed to the sun.

? Do a good job of supplementary feeding of son deer

Supplementary feeding can not only exercise the feeding ability of deer, but also exercise the gastrointestinal function of deer, and prepare for feeding after weaning. Supplementary feeding began at 2 weeks after birth and was carried out in the protective fence. At the beginning, the deer do not eat or eat less, but after a few days they will gradually get used to it. Eat more food, feed less frequently, feed 4 ~ 5 times a day, take away the leftovers after 1 hour, wash the feed trough, and ensure drinking water. Generally speaking, diarrhea of weaned deer is mainly caused by non-supplementary feeding or poor supplementary feeding.

? The deer should be weaned in batches.

At present, most of the deer are weaned once. The main advantage of batch weaning is to save the cost of concentrate for female deer.

? Do a good job in the domestication of deer

Domestication can improve the anti-stress ability and adaptability to the environment of the deer, and make the frightened deer docile and close to people. The specific method of domestication is "frequent contact". Therefore, the staff should often go deep into the deer house and come into contact with the deer, especially the weaned deer. Regular contact with people can reduce the stress response caused by weaning and is conducive to growth.
