Key points of management technology of marmot

Marmot is a kind of burrowing animal, which is mainly distributed in the high altitude areas of our country. The wild number of marmots is very large, although it is not recommended for human consumption, but it still has a high value. The main profit space of marmot breeding lies in fur and fat, but the breeding technology of marmot in our country is not very perfect. There are certain skills in breeding, and the following editor brings you the key points of the management technology of the marmot. Let's have a look!

1. Feed

Marmots eat a lot of food, but they don't eat meat, so prepare grass feed when raising marmots. And to ensure that the daily feed and water is fresh enough, the feed can choose the rabbit daily feed, because the rabbit feed can effectively prevent cardiovascular and other diseases. It can also prevent marmots from gaining weight without restriction. And marmots have a habit of gnawing, so when choosing food pots, do not choose materials that are easy to be bitten, such as plastic. It is mainly made of stainless steel, which can not only prevent marmots from biting, but also ensure that the food basin will not be overturned when eating.

2. Temperature

Temperature is very important for the growth of marmots, especially for marmots within two months to keep warm sooner rather than later. If the temperature drops and does not keep warm in time, it is easy to cause the marmot to catch a cold. Therefore, we should do a good job of heat preservation and warming after the beginning of winter, but we should also do a good job of ventilation when we keep warm. The temperature is higher in summer, so we should also pay attention to cooling and preventing heatstroke in summer. High temperature will lead to heatstroke in marmots. And the harm to the marmot is very great, and it can lead to death in serious cases.

3. Cushion material

Bedding is an indispensable thing in many aquaculture, which can effectively keep the marmot warm and absorb the droppings of the marmot. Absorb the peculiar smell produced by excrement to prevent the growth of marmots. The bedding material should be replaced in time, especially in summer, the replacement interval should not exceed one week, and the bedding material should be replaced in time after it is wet. Make sure the bedding is dry to prevent the marmot from growing uncomfortably. Marmots can choose sawdust, shredded paper, etc., or cat litter, but the cost will increase.

4. Postpartum management

The annual output of marmots is about 7-9. After giving birth, female marmots enter a period of weakness, which needs to be carefully managed. First of all, we should strengthen the feeding of feed, and then increase the proportion of nutrients in the feed. Do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases, do a good job in the prevention and control of all possible transmission of germs. When the young marmot grows from February to March, it is necessary to do a good job of dividing the nests, improve the growth ability of the young marmot, and create a good growth environment for the marmot.

The above is a brief introduction to the key points of marmot management technology. Although marmots have strong disease prevention ability, we still have to disinfect them regularly and eliminate germs. And marmots are threatened by plague, so when we disinfect them, we also need to prevent the invasion of germs carried by rats. That's all for today's introduction.
