Feeding tube of raccoon dog

1. Animal and plant feed is properly matched with raccoon dog omnivores, and the characteristics and functions of the digestive system are between carnivores and herbivores. They are not only suitable for feeding and digesting animal feed, but also suitable for eating and digesting plant feed. Therefore, in the feed ratio, animal and plant feed should be used reasonably. Because the price of animal feed is high, the proportion of animal feed should be reduced as much as possible within the allowable limit, generally no more than 45%.

Second, regular and quantitative daily feeding of raccoon dogs should have a relatively fixed number of times and quantity, so that they can develop good eating habits and secrete digestive juice regularly to facilitate the digestion and absorption of feed. Otherwise, long-term irregular eating can easily cause digestive disorders and poor absorption of nutrients, which will affect the normal development of raccoon dogs and cause physical weakness. The specific feeding time, frequency and feeding amount should be determined according to the sex, body size and season of raccoon dogs.

3. When changing diets, the type of feed should be changed gradually (including planned changes and temporary changes affected by feed sources and other factors), the amount of new feed should be gradually increased, and the amount of feed to be replaced should be gradually reduced, so that the digestive system of raccoon dogs gradually adapt to the new feed. Otherwise, the sudden change of feed is easy to cause gastrointestinal disease, so that raccoon dog appetite loss affects production.

Fourth, the guarantee of drinking water supply should be determined according to the physiological state, season and feed characteristics of raccoon dogs. High temperature season water demand is large, do not stop drinking water; young raccoon dog is in the peak period of growth and development, water demand is higher than adult raccoon dog; pregnant mother raccoon dog water demand is also much higher than usual; mother raccoon dog is easy to have a sense of thirst before and after birth, lack of drinking water is easy to cause litter, eating phenomenon, so it is necessary to ensure adequate drinking water.

Fifth, to maintain environmental hygiene and quiet, clean and clean the nest box regularly and regularly, and remove the leftover food and feces of raccoon dogs in time. The food basin should be cleaned and set aside in time after each use, and the drinking water should be replaced in time to keep it clean. During the breeding period and the birth period, special attention should be paid to keeping the farm quiet. Too noisy environment or sudden noise will affect breeding and birth, and in serious cases, there will be the phenomenon of picking up and abandoning the baby with the mother and raccoon dog.

Sixth, do a good job of preventing heat and cold from the underdeveloped sweat glands of raccoon dogs, coupled with the thick and long coat, which affects the distribution of body heat, and is easy to die of heatstroke in hot summer weather. Raccoon dogs have the habit of non-persistent hibernation in winter, so it is necessary to restrict food, keep quiet and strengthen the heat preservation of the nest. Generally speaking, grass mat should be added in the nest before and after the Beginning of Winter in the north, and the heat preservation work during the birth period is also very important. If it is not done well, it will affect the survival rate of raccoon dogs.

7. Grouping management shall classify raccoon dog age, sex, use (seed or skin use), etc., in order to facilitate management. It should be noted that male raccoon dogs and female raccoon dogs can be grouped in non-mating period, while they should be raised in groups near the mating period and during mating period, so as to enhance heterosexual stimulation and facilitate estrus and mating.
