Daily management of mink breeding

Mink must be familiar to everyone. Mink is an aquatic animal, but it is not the mink we imagined at all. Mink fur value is very high, commonly known as "mink coat" is made of mink fur, is a relatively high-end clothing products. Mink breeding is troublesome and needs to be managed well, so how to manage mink farming? The following editor brings the daily management of mink farming, let's have a look!

1. Installation of culture cages

Minks are ferocious and aggressive, so in order to facilitate management, we have to ensure that the cage is strong enough. Hard materials such as iron wire should be used to make a reasonable plan for the size of the breeding cage. Ensure that there is enough room for rice movement, and minks at different growth stages have different requirements for the size of the cage. For example, an adult mink should have at least 25 square meters of living space. It is necessary to prepare daily utensils and isolation boards in the cage, and because minks have the habit of hiding food, they are usually hidden in small rooms. Therefore, we timely clean up the residual feed and feces in the chamber to ensure hygiene and cleanliness, and the bedding grass should also be replaced in time to keep it soft and dry so as to create a healthy growth environment for minks.

2. Ventilation and light transmission

Mink growth is inseparable from the light, in the breeding process must ensure that there is enough sunlight to promote the growth of minks. Farms should be built in ventilated, sunny, dry areas. It is necessary to do a good job of ventilation, timely ventilation, and improve the air quality of the farm, because the physique of minks is relatively weak. If the ventilation is not done well, the harmful substances in the farms will increase, which can easily lead to respiratory diseases of minks, resulting in more weakness and even death. Therefore, our ventilation and light is very important for the growth of minks, and it is a necessary work in our breeding.

3. Regular disinfection

Sterilize the mink house regularly to eliminate the germs in the mink house and reduce the incidence of minks. Mink appliances must be cleaned regularly every day, and then soaked in solutions such as sodium carbonate for half an hour, and then washed again. It is necessary to clean once a day in spring, summer and autumn, and to disinfect regularly to prevent feed spoilage and breeding bacteria from remaining in the trough. Then the mink house is sterilized about half a month. Comprehensive and thorough disinfection should be carried out during breeding and skin extraction, and no corner should be missed to ensure that the work of breeding and skin removal is not threatened.

4. Feed management

The feed management of minks is very important, because the quality of feed is directly related to the occurrence of mink diseases. The main diets of minks are carnivorous and vegetarian. Wild minks often feed on all kinds of fish, so we should try our best to feed fish. During the breeding period, minks account for about 60% of the total diet, and commercial minks and minks can appropriately reduce the proportion. Generally speaking, male minks eat more than female minks, so when we feed them, we should adjust the feed not only according to the growth stage, but also according to various factors such as sex and weather changes.

Minks have a great demand for water, and adequate and clean drinking water should be ensured in breeding. Disinfect drinking water regularly and try to feed water that meets the standard of human drinking water. And we pay attention to mink farm hygiene, clean regularly, do the most basic work, and create a good environment for mink growth.
