Matters needing attention in breeding masked palm civet

Masked palm civet is a very precious wild animal of the cat family, and masked palm civet is also a very popular game on the market. It is very rich in protein and carbohydrates and other nutrients, suitable for patients with poor appetite, cough, weakness and other diseases. Because the wild quantity is caught wantonly, masked palm civet on the market is basically farmed. The following editor brings you some points for attention in breeding masked palm civet. Let's have a look!

1. Feed management

Masked palm civet has a very miscellaneous diet and can eat different types of feed. Therefore, we can use this feature to reduce the cost of masked palm civet breeding, reduce the proportion of carnivorous feed to the maximum, and increase the proportion of vegetarian feed to about 70%. Pay attention to the nutrition proportion of feed to ensure the diversity of feed and improve the palatability of masked palm civet. And regular and quantitative feeding should be carried out to promote masked palm civet to form a conditioned reflex to eat, secrete digestive juice regularly, and improve the conversion rate of feed. And the dosage and feeding frequency should be controlled according to the season, weather, age of masked palm civet and other factors.

2. Avoid shock

Masked palm civet is very timid. If he is frightened in breeding, it will lead to masked palm civet's loss of appetite or stop, incontinence, and so on. In serious cases, it may make masked palm civet die. Especially for masked palm civet during the nursing period, it is more serious. If she is frightened, the mother masked palm civet will abandon her son and run away without breastfeeding, causing the cubs to starve to death. Even the female fruit beaver will bite the cub, kill it or swallow it. Therefore, when breeding, we must ensure that the surrounding environment is quiet, do not easily touch the mobile masked palm civet.

3. Health and epidemic prevention

In breeding, we must do a good job in health and epidemic prevention to reduce the incidence of masked palm civet. Disinfection and epidemic prevention shall be carried out on the farm regularly, and masked palm civet shall be injected with epidemic prevention agents regularly. The farm must be cleaned once a day to clean up faeces to prevent fecal fermentation from breeding bacteria. And also need to food trough, sink and other household utensils for disinfection. Ensure clean and sterile, comfortable and dry, and control the culture environment to the most suitable degree for the growth of masked palm civet. If the growth environment is too dirty and messy, masked palm civet is easy to produce stress reaction and reduce masked palm civet's mating and giving birth rate during the breeding period.

4. Temperature control

The temperature of masked palm civet's growth is very important, and reasonable temperature control is the key to ensure masked palm civet's healthy growth. In the environment of high temperature and drought in summer, because masked palm civet's hair is very long, and the sweat gland function and heat dissipation capacity are poor, if the temperature is not cooled in time, it can easily lead to the death of fruit heatstroke. Therefore, we must do a good job in cooling and preventing heat in the summer, strengthen the ventilation of the enclosure, splash water appropriately, and add cooling equipment if possible. However, it is also necessary to do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation in winter, and pay attention to the attack of cold current and thief wind.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in masked palm civet breeding. Masked palm civet breeding is not as simple as everyone's imagination. The management of masked palm civet during the breeding period needs to be further strengthened to ensure masked palm civet's successful mating and conception, improve the birth rate and cub survival rate, and avoid reducing the efficiency of breeding.
