Feeding and management of pig badger

Pig badger breeding is not very common in China, but the economic value of pig badger is relatively high, pig badger breeding can not only be based on badger meat. Its fur is also the main fur variety on the market, pig badger breeding is relatively simple, but we also need to have a correct feeding and management method. Each growth stage has different needs, so the editor today will introduce some pig badger feeding and management methods at each growth stage. Let's take a look at it.

1. Proestrus

Proestrus is important for pig badgers, because it is directly related to the later estrus mating of pig badgers. When the pig badger reaches proestrus, it should be fed at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Ensure adequate drinking water in the badger house, improve the ability of the boar badger, in the feed can be properly added a small amount of feed to promote estrus. Increase the estrus time of pig badger, stabilize the mating and fertilization of pig badger, and control the amount of feed each time, 2 pm 5 in the morning and 3 pm in the evening.

2. Estrus mating period

When it comes to estrus, observe the estrus of each badger, manage the mating time of each pair, and make sure that the boar badger has enough rest. Sow badgers should be bred with at least two or more boar badgers to improve their chances of being bred. The duration of each mating should not be less than 10 hours. And the continuous breeding time of the boar badger is controlled at about 4 days to prevent the boar badger from losing its physical strength. Provide plenty of water during breeding, avoid visits from outsiders as far as possible, and keep the badger house quiet. Do a good job in cage escape prevention measures, increase the frequency of feed feeding, supplement adequate nutrition.

3. Fat storage period

The fat storage period is the key period for pig badgers to increase their weight and fat. at this time, we should strengthen the nutrition in feed and increase the frequency of feed feeding. Compared with proestrus, one more feed feed can be added at noon, and the proportion of feed feeding in the morning, middle and evening is about 3:2:5. The choice of feed is also very important, at this stage to supplement the pig badger with high-calorie feed, such as potatoes, carrots and so on. Do not feed too little, let the badger eat until it does not eat, and then provide enough water to ensure the healthy growth of the badger and enhance the meat quality.

4. Overwintering period

Although the overwintering period is not a certain growth stage of the pig badger, the management of this period is also very important because the pig badger is a hibernating animal. But farmed pig badgers do not hibernate, so pig badgers need to be managed during the overwintering period. During the overwintering period, the feeding frequency can be reduced appropriately. Water is an essential substance for the growth of pig badgers, and the water temperature should not be too low. The most important thing is to do a good job of keeping the badger warm and cold, and regularly change the grass mat in the badger house to prevent the badger from catching a cold in a too humid environment.

The above is a brief introduction to each growth stage of pig badger, in fact, whether it is pig badger or other breeding projects, feeding management is the most important in the breeding process. There is disease prevention and control, although the incidence of pig badger is low, and easy to treat, but we also need to do a good job of prevention, after all, illness will still have a certain impact on the growth of pig badger. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
