How to raise mules?

Many of us may not have seen a mule, but we are familiar with it. It is a hybrid product of a horse and a donkey. the mule is larger and easier to raise. Because the mule is more labor-tolerant than horses and donkeys, the economic benefit once exceeded that of raising horses and donkeys. So do you know how to raise mules? Is there any difference between raising horses and raising donkeys? Let's take a look at it.

1. Mule house construction

If we raise mules, we also need to build farms, but the general mule farms will not be very large, because the annual output of mules is not high. The pruning of the mule house is actually similar to that of the donkey house and the horse house. Of course, if it is to reduce the cost of breeding, then the current greenhouse technology can be used for breeding. Special food troughs and sinks should be built in the breeding shed, and columns should be divided at the same time. In general, it is best to raise one or two in a column. Finally, the mule shed should set a separate threshold to prevent the mule from escaping.

2. Mule selection

Because there are fewer mules, it is very easy for us to buy mules. If there is a special breeding base, go to the breeding base for a large number of purchases, and the fertility of mules is very weak, or even infertile, and they need to be purchased in bulk after each sale. This is also the reason why many people do not want to raise mules now. Secondly, we can also do a small amount of bulk shopping, but we have to choose larger, strong and docile ones, such as glassy eyes and weak limbs, we can give up directly.

3. Feeding and management

Mules are hybrid products of donkeys and horses, and donkeys and horses are forage animals, so mules also feed on forage. If there are planting conditions, mule breeding can be recommended, so that the cost of mule breeding is lower, and the quality of feed is guaranteed. Of course, if it is to promote the rapid growth of mules and speed up its economic benefits, then we can also feed them properly. For example, reasonable feeding of some concentrate, such as corn flour, wheat bran, sweet potato, rice bran, chopped rice and so on, these are excellent feed.

4. Daily management

In the process of raising mules, we should clean them in time, usually at least once a week, and disinfect the mule house from time to time. Secondly, in summer, measures should be taken to prevent the mule from suffering from heatstroke and affect the normal growth of the mule. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the mule house should be inspected and the leaking air and rain should be repaired to maintain the temperature of the mule house. Of course, we can also achieve the effect of heat preservation by adding warm cushions to the mule house. Finally, it is necessary to do a good job in disease prevention measures, and in accordance with the process of breeding technology, reasonable vaccination.

Mules are generally farmed extensively, so the requirements for the environment and technology of mules are not high. nevertheless, we also need to pay attention to, so we still need to understand the growth habits of mules and master professional knowledge. to maximize the economic benefits of mules.
