Breeding prospect of weasel

The skin of weasel is called weasel skin, which is a traditional export commodity of our country. Its output and quality rank first in the world. Its tail hair is dense, straight and flexible. It is a valuable raw material for making high-grade brush, oil brush and precision instrument brush. At the same time, weasel has the advantages of rapid reproduction, less epidemic disease, simple feeding method and high breeding prospect. Artificial breeding is a good way for farmers to increase their income.

Breeding techniques of weasel

1. Build a house

① cage: the cage house is divided into two parts: the chamber and the playground. The chamber is made of wood, with a length, width and height of 50 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm, with a nest box inside. The sports ground is made of steel bars with a diameter of 6 mm, a frame with a width of 70 cm × 50 cm × 30 cm, an electric welding net around it, and a movable door on the side of 50 cm. The cage is placed 20 to 25 centimeters above the ground in order to collect feces.

②: use idle old houses with an area of not less than 1 square meter, walls and floors polished with cement, tightly nailed doors and windows, and indoor straw mounds or earth mounds (many small holes are dug on the mounds) to facilitate weasel habitat and reproduction. Ten weasels can be kept in a house of 10 square meters.

2. Reproduction: weasels mature sexually at the age of 8 ~ 10 months and reproduce in the spring of the following year. They mate in late winter and early spring and give birth to one baby a year, with an average of 8 cubs per fetus, up to a maximum of 12. The estrus season of female weasel is from April to May, the oestrus is characterized by obvious swelling and protrusion of genitals, pink or purple, labia valgus, mucus outflow and pubic hair bundles inverted to both sides. This is the heyday of estrus, and the conception rate of mating is the highest. The weasel is polygamous. During the mating period, one male can be matched with 5 females.

3. Feeding: livestock and poultry slaughtering leftovers (chicken offal is better) and fish and their by-products can be used, and some cereal feeds such as corn, wheat bran, bean cakes and vegetables, as well as mineral and vitamin additives can be fed appropriately. Animal feed accounted for 55%, grain feed accounted for 35%, and vegetables accounted for 10%. Proper addition of bone meal, salt, yeast and cod liver oil.

4, management: first, regular and quantitative feeding, a variety of feed varieties, do not feed spoiled feed. Second, in the case of house feeding, the setting of the eating basin should be sufficient to prevent uneven eating. The third is to do a good job in cleaning and disinfecting the environment, cages and utensils. In addition, the cub's cub is often cleaned from the age of 15. Individuals who give birth to too many babies or lack of breast milk shall adopt surrogate measures or artificial feeding. The feeding tube of young weasel was strengthened after weaning at 40 days old.

5. Skin extraction: skin can be removed from Lesser Snow of the lunar calendar to February of the following year, with December as the best time to take skin. Generally speaking, the skin is not removed until the weasel is raised for the second year, and the male weasel can also be skinned after being raised for 9 months. When taking the skin, kill the weasel with a wooden stick and skin it immediately. Pass the wire through the weasel's upper and lower incisors, secure the teeth, then hang them, and peel them from the mouth to the body with a sharp knife. When peeling to the forelimb, cut it off from the first joint of the two forelimbs with scissors and bring the five fingers to the skin of the leg. This method is also used when peeling the hind legs. Try to get the caudal vertebrae out of the tail. After peeling, the leather board is facing outward and the hair is facing in to dry.
