Marmot culture technology

Marmot is the marmot in our daily life, marmot is a kind of large rodent, mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, * and other northern areas of our country. The quality of the fur of marmot is good, and the color of the processed fur is shiny and bright, which has a high technological value. And marmot fat can be used as medicine to treat hemoptysis and burns, but also can be made into cosmetics, is a kind of animal with high economic value. So how to raise marmots? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Site selection

As the name implies, marmots live in a dry and ventilated environment. Therefore, we should pay attention to the selection of breeding sites in wet, rainy, uneven areas. And to ensure that there is no noise around the farm, try not to get close to other farms, away from the city, factories and slaughterhouses and other noisy areas. Preventing marmots from being frightened in breeding is not conducive to growth, and then breeding is not allowed to be mixed. Marmots are aggressive to some extent, and mixed farming may attack mixed animals, resulting in a decline in farming efficiency.

2. Build cellar and shed

First of all, we should plan the size of the marmot cellar according to the number of marmots, first in two rows, and then control the depth of the cellar according to the local weather conditions and soil permafrost. To ensure that each marmot has plenty of room for movement, the mouth of the cellar should be about 18 centimeters above the ground level. Then use materials other than perishable materials such as plastic to make the foundation. A greenhouse with an activity room will be built on the ground to provide light and food for the growth of marmots. And because the marmot has the habit of digging the ground, it is necessary to dig a trench between the cellar and the activity room, and then seal the edge with cement to prevent the marmot from digging the trench to escape.

3. Feeding and management

Marmot is a typical herbivore, which is mainly fed with green feed and forage. Fine feeding can choose corn, wheat and other food crops, and green feeding is mainly based on the roots, stems and leaves of Gramineae. Marmots do not eat much, but they should eat more and less when feeding, and the choice of feed is also very important. Pay attention to the quality of feed, do not choose moldy and deteriorated feed, otherwise it will lead to marmots produce a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. It is very disadvantageous to the growth of marmots, and when feeding, try to feed fresh feed to ensure adequate and comprehensive nutrition.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

The disease resistance of marmots is relatively strong, but some diseases will occur if they are not managed properly. For example, the choice of feed, temperature discomfort and so on will lead to gastrointestinal diseases in marmots. Especially for those young otters within a year, the incidence is higher, so we must do a good job in breeding and management in the process of breeding. Regularly disinfect the marmot house, reduce pathogens, do a good job in feed management, and prevent carrying germs. Reduce the incidence of marmots and avoid unnecessary losses.

The above is a brief introduction of marmot breeding technology, marmot breeding is relatively simple, but there are certain risks. The marmot itself has recessive germs, which do great harm to the human body. And now the market for marmots has not been fully opened, so we must carefully consider before breeding to prevent breeding failure. That's all for today's introduction.
