Key points of management and care during pregnancy

I. Feed supply

Many farmers believe that female raccoon dogs should increase the amount of feed and accessories after pregnancy in order to increase nutrition. However, years of practical experience has proved that this will be counterproductive. The correct ration of feed and auxiliaries should be that within 40 days after mating, the times of feeding should be once a day. The feed consumption of each animal is generally corn flour or full-price feed no more than 35g, fish meal 20g, and the maximum amount of eggs is 5 raccoon dogs to feed one egg (about 75g). If the fetus is overfed, it is very likely that the fetus will be absorbed due to excessive nutrition. Therefore, inexperienced farmers should not be fed too much every day during this period.

After 40 days of pregnancy, the fetus has been basically formed, feed and accessories can be gradually increased, each increased every two days to 10 grams of flour, 3 grams of fish meal. By the 50th day, the total daily amount must reach 75Mel 80g of flour, 35g of fish meal and half of each raccoon dog per day (cooked and fed separately at noon). After that, you should be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Second, drug feeding

In addition to taking turns to feed vitamin A, B, C, E and cod liver oil, vitamin C (1 water agent) should be added to the feed every day after 50 days of pregnancy, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of red claw disease in raccoon raccoon dogs. No matter what kind of medicine is fed, spread it evenly in the food as far as possible to avoid surplus.

III. Nursing care in the shelter

When the mother raccoon dog gives birth, the weather is not completely warm, and there is a large temperature difference between day and night, so warm care should be given to the nest. First of all, prepare the straw curtain made of straw. when it is about 1 month pregnant, it will cover all the back nests used for giving birth, so that the mother raccoon dog has a corresponding sufficient adaptation period. According to the time of the due date, open the gate in the middle of the anterior and posterior nest 5 days in advance, so that the raccoon dog is familiar with the environment of the "delivery room". At the same time, cover the front door with a straw curtain to prevent the mother from causing panic when giving birth, which is disadvantageous to the birth. Before preparing the above measures, the bottom of the "delivery room" must be paved with straw or wheat straw for the purpose of heat preservation.

After mating, they enter the pregnancy period, at this time the feeding and nursing is very important in the whole breeding process, so we should attach great importance to it, otherwise, it may get nothing, resulting in damage to the culture. Under normal circumstances, most of the mother raccoon dogs are in pregnancy in March, and farmers should follow the following principles to ensure the birth rate and birth rate.
