How to raise minks

1. Common sense of ecological habits of mink

A. Site preparation:

Mink farms should be located in sheltered, sunny, dry and far away from rabbit houses and pig pens, facilities include mink shed, mink cage, small room, food bowl, water cup, catch net and mink box, etc. The function of the mink shed is to keep out the wind and rain, prevent direct sunlight, and facilitate the normal life of the mink group. Mink shed construction can be made according to the specific situation or easy to build a structure of the shelter.

B. Preparation of facilities:

Mink cage requirements strong, durable, mostly welded mesh or wire weaving. Generally 70 cm long, 50 cm wide, 40 cm high, similar in size to mink cages, most of which are made into water tanks or bricks. The cells have holes leading to the cage, such as round holes, all 10 cm in diameter, such as rectangular holes, 14 cm high and 12 cm wide. The cells are closely associated with the mink cage. Food bowl and cup use enamel or enamel cup of moderate size. In order to prevent mink from turning over during activity, it is often made of No.8 iron wire and placed at the door of mink cage. When feeding, the food bowl containing feed is placed in the fixed card.

C. Technical preparation:

The technical requirements for raising mink are relatively high, so it is necessary to conduct self-study through books, newspapers and magazines in advance. You can also learn from the columns of "Fox, Mink and Raccoon Dog Knowledge Lecture" and electronic journal "Fox, Mink and Raccoon Dog Technology" in this network school, so as to continuously improve and enrich the breeding technology.

D. Preparation of feed:

Mink feed includes animal feed, plant feed, vitamins and minerals. Animal feeds include livestock meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, silkworm pupae and other small animals. Plant feeds include cereals, beans, fruits and vegetables. Vitamin feed often refers to cod liver oil, VE, VB, VC and so on. Mineral feed refers to bone meal, salt and so on. The breeding period of mink requires that the animal feed should not be less than 60%. Animal feed can be reduced appropriately and plant feed can be increased appropriately in the breeding period and non-breeding period of commercial mink.

E. Preparation for epidemic prevention:

Foxes are prone to parasitic diseases, canine distemper, Aleutian disease, yellow fat disease, etc., and should be kept clean and hygienic, and pay attention to the invasion of infectious diseases.

F. Preparation for introduction

Before introduction, we should comprehensively and multi-directionally understand the source of seed supply, master relevant knowledge, purchase from qualified units of seedling management, adhere to the principles of quality comparison, price comparison and service comparison, adhere to the principle of purchasing nearby, and control the quality, price and structure of good seed mink.
