Fox is a kind of canine animal of carnivorous order. The reputation of fox in Chinese history is not very good, but its economic value is relatively high. The fur of foxes is a very precious textile material in China, because wild foxes are not allowed to be hunted and killed. China now also has a certain artificial breeding area, when breeding foxes before and after breeding is very important, so how to do it? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Before the breeding period

At present, the main artificial breeding varieties in China are silver fox and blue fox. Silver fox is ready to breed at the end of each year, while blue fox is about January to February every year. Before the breeding period, it is necessary to adjust the nutrition ratio of feed, increase the content of protein, improve the physical condition of foxes and enhance the ability of breeding. Different feeds should be adjusted according to the growth of foxes. Ensure that the body weight is about 10 jin before breeding, and then increase the light time to promote the gonadal development of breeding pigs.

2. Mating period

After doing a good job in the management before the mating period, the fox gradually enters the mating period, at this time to ensure that the feed is nutritious and comprehensive, palatable, and can not be fed with indigestible feed. Then add appropriate amount of trace elements and vitamins to the feed to prevent the lack of nutrition from affecting the growth of the fox and ensure that the fox has adequate nutrition. Improve the success rate of mating and fertilization of foxes and improve the economic benefits of breeding.

3. Pregnancy

After successful mating, it enters the pregnant period of the female fox. when the female fox is pregnant, the demand for nutrition will rise in a straight line, and the nutrition needed is very comprehensive. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the feed is adequate and clean at this time, and do not feed moldy and deteriorated feed. If the feed is not fed properly, it will affect the growth of female foxes, resulting in abortion, dystocia and other phenomena. It is very disadvantageous to the benefit of breeding, and then do a good job in the environmental management of the fox house to prevent noise, resulting in stress reaction of female foxes.

4. Lactation period

After successful production, we should strengthen the management of the lactation period. The female fox has a very low food intake in the early stage of giving birth and has a poor appetite. Therefore, the feeding method at this time should be mainly a small amount of more feeding, within 3 days of giving birth, it should be guaranteed to feed about 3 per day. Follow the principle of timing and quantity, and then supplement feeding when the young fox grows to about a month, the breast-feeding pressure of the mother fox to meet the nutrition needed for the growth of the young fox.

5. Breeding period

When the young foxes grow to about 1-2 months old, they are properly weaned and raised separately from the female foxes. The specific litter time should be determined according to the growth of the young fox. for example, the young fox with strong growth and good growth can divide the litter earlier, otherwise it will be delayed. After nesting, young foxes enter the breeding stage, during this period, due to the fast growth rate, the formation rate of plush is also relatively fast. There is a great demand for nutrition, so during the breeding period, sufficient feed should be invested to allow young foxes to eat freely to ensure that each young fox is full and promote growth and development.

When feeding during the breeding period, it should be noted that when the young foxes do not eat each time, the residual feed should be cleaned up in time to prevent the feed deterioration from causing the young foxes to eat by mistake and affect the growth of the young foxes.
