Cub management of sika deer

As a long-standing special breeding project, sika deer are not farmed by many people because of the high breeding cost and the need for excellent breeding technology. But now the market demand of sika deer is increasing, the area of artificial breeding is too small, and the phenomenon that supply exceeds demand begins to appear. What the editor wants to say is that although the cost of breeding is very high, the profit after successful breeding is also very considerable. So the editor today brings you the management method of sika deer cubs. Let's take a look at it.

1. Cub management

When a sika deer gives birth to a cub, when both the mother and the calf are very weak, the calf is moist, mainly because there is still fetal membranes. Generally speaking, female deer will help young deer to lick and dry faster, but we can also use artificial air drying, so that young deer can stand up and breast-feed as soon as possible. After wiping off the fetal membranes of the young deer, the average young deer can stand in about half an hour. However, it should be noted that female deer generally have less milk, but more fat, young deer will increase the frequency of breast-feeding. When the young deer are breast-feeding, we should pay attention to the clothing of the personnel, not with a heavier smell, otherwise it will have a greater impact on the growth of the young deer.

2. Auxiliary feeding

When the female deer is giving birth, there will inevitably be some accidents, such as illness and death, and these problems result in a shortage of breast milk for the young deer. At this time, artificial feeding is needed, and we can use goat's milk or milk powder for feeding. However, it is difficult to obtain fresh goat milk in the breeding process, so it is generally fed with milk powder. In the process of feeding, it should be noted that the feeding amount should be determined according to the breast milk condition of the mother deer and the feeding habits of the calves. In general, when the young deer grow to a month, they can start to feed some forage properly, not too much at one time, the right amount of increase, so that the young deer gradually adapt.

3. Taming young deer

When the young deer grow up to about a month, they need proper domestication training, and when feeding, put an appropriate amount of grass and feed mixture in the trough. Let the young deer slowly adapt to form a fixed eating habit, feeding can be used to whistle or a fixed sound to attract the young deer, let the young deer eat. This kind of domestication training can make the young deer gradually independent, break away from the dependence on the mother deer, and then promote the growth of the young deer, so that the young deer can have an independent growth environment and enhance the quality of the young deer.

4. Raise separately

When the young deer grow to a certain size, the young deer and the mother deer should be raised separately. But do not rush for success, the work should be carried out step by step, slowly separating the young deer from the female deer for an hour or so. Then increase the separation time appropriately according to the growth and feeding status of the young deer. If the young deer are raised separately from the female deer, not only the female deer will lose weight, but also the young deer will have a poor appetite and increase the incidence of the disease. In the process of breeding, breeders should interact with appropriate extra young deer to strengthen their dependence on human beings, which is beneficial to future breeding.

The above is the management method of the cub when raising sika deer, the management of young deer needs to have certain breeding skills, otherwise it will reduce the survival rate of young deer. It should be noted that although the food intake of the young deer is very small, the digestion speed of the young deer is relatively fast, so we need to feed the young deer a little more.
