Culture techniques of Zokor

Zokor is a general term of rodent hamster family zokor subfamily, also known as sheep, Theron, bone can replace tiger bone medicine, can also be used as medicine, especially liver, gallbladder medicine value is higher, skin is precious animal fur has strong dehydration characteristics, can be comparable to otter skin, meat taste delicious, so artificial breeding zokor has a high economic value, let's take a look at the breeding technology of zokor!

Living Habits of Zokor

Zokor inhabits in wet, loose soil holes, female and male live alone, but live together during breeding season, like darkness, afraid of sunlight, poor vision, sensitive hearing, like quiet, afraid of fright. Food is mainly potatoes and grass roots, generally dig holes to feed. Strong resistance to disease, do not hibernate.

Growth and reproduction of zokor

Zokor generally breeds from 3 to 9 months, with 2 births per year and 1 to 8 births per birth. In the wild state, it is in estrus from April to June every year, and in artificial breeding condition, it reproduces from March to October every year, with an annual output of 2~3 fetuses, 4~6 fetuses per fetus, and more than 8 fetuses. Generally, young mice grow sexually mature for 2 months. Female mice are in estrus with mucus in their genitals and emit a "squeak" call. This is a good time for mating. The gestation period is 30 days old, the litter is mostly at night, the cubs are mainly breastfed within 10 days, and then they can be fed potatoes and grass roots. After 20 days, the pups are able to live independently.

Catching technique of zokor

1, time off: zokor activity time for spring from the vernal equinox to small full, autumn from the autumnal equinox to cold dew, generally the most frequent activities every morning 8~12 o 'clock, sometimes 3~4 o' clock in the afternoon activities, other time activities less.

2, peak off: zokor activity peak for rainy days, windy days, cloudy days or the eve of bad weather.

3, male and female off: zokor to distinguish between female and male, to achieve a purpose to catch. Where the ground mound formed a straight line is male, curved line is female.

Breeding method of zokor

1, closed method: with bricks long, wide, high 1×1×1.2 meters of the pool, the pool soil thickness is generally 50 cm is appropriate, in order to prepare for zokor digging holes. In one corner of the pond put some straw or wheat straw, to prepare zokor mat grass storage nest, the other corner put food and water container. Each pond raises 1 pair, but must pay attention to the cover mouth to seal tightly, the brick must not have the seam, prevents the zokor to escape.

2, cage method: a cage of a rat, do 60*40*30 cm wire cage, cage eyes should be small, not more than 2 cm, in case of missing nursing rats. Cages into about 1 kg of soft hay, rest for zokor, cage placed objects and water. Usually with black cloth cover strict shading, in order to maintain the pharmacological properties of zokor unchanged.

Feeding and Management of Zokor

1, feed: zokor is a typical herbivorous animals, zokor feed mainly grass, accounting for about 50% of the diet. In its diet ingredients vegetables accounted for 20%, such as cabbage, carrots, etc., concentrate accounted for 30%, mainly corn, bran, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., add salt 1~2 grams.

2, feeding: zokor feeding should be done "three fixed." Feed regularly, three times a day, starting at 7:00 a.m. Quantitative, starting from different days of age, the average adult zokor fed 200~250 grams per day. Set the water, supply enough water, let zokor drink freely.

3, disease prevention: zokor breeding should be done when there is disease early treatment, to prevent the occurrence of disease, once found zokor has a cold, pneumonia, gastroenteritis and parasitic diseases to be treated in time.

4, out of the market: the sale of seed zokor to 30 days old is appropriate, commodity zokor to market-oriented, generally adult rats up to 400~500 grams can be sold.
