Identification and management of hateful doe

Every year during the birth and lactation period of female deer, due to the lack of management skills in some deer farms, the phenomenon of hateful female deer harming newborn deer and feeding managers occurs from time to time. Some newborn deer are killed alive, and some breeders or technicians are scratched. According to the investigation, a sika deer hated female deer killed five newborn deer in the first few days of her birth, and scratched two young and able-bodied managers. The harm of hateful female deer has led to a significant increase in the mortality of young deer, which should be paid full attention to.

1 recognition

1.1 mainly according to the birth records of female deer over the years and the various types of hateful doe clearly registered in the relevant columns of doe cards. Because most of the addiction of female deer is lifelong, and some are passed on to offspring, only a few are caused by environmental conditions, such as various disturbances when mismanaged.

1.2 ①, according to its usual behavior, is mainly used to identify the doe of pickpockets. If they usually pick people to give birth, they will also pick people, or even bite deer, which is also a sign of strong maternal self-defense and protection. Through scratching wounds on the head, neck, shoulder, and ribs of a dead cub, ② should list the previous mother of the dead cub as a key monitoring object for authentication; it can also throw a small stone in front of the slowly walking fawns. If you see a doe who is eager to "stand out" and sniff the stones, or even can't wait to roar, it must be a hated doe who kills her cubs.

2 Management

2.1 according to the previous certification records, the hated female deer are assigned to the isolation circle or single circle for feeding and management in time before giving birth.

2.2 some newly born female deer with new kicking behavior should be promptly observed or verified and immediately assigned to the isolation circle or single circle for feeding and management. If a small number of docile nanny deer without addiction can be mixed into the neonate herd in advance, the hateful doe in the parturient herd can also be avoided or reduced.

2.3 when there is a birth ring that is giving birth or has just finished giving birth, the breeding and management personnel are not in a hurry to enter the circle except for careful observation, so as to reduce alarm and avoid the emergence of new hateful doe.

2.4 Breeders and managers should hold hardwood branches with long hoes when entering an enclosure with addiction doe, and give a "signal" outside the door when entering the circle. When you open or enter the door, you should move gently. After the herd slows up, lean against the far side of the wall and walk in little by little. When there is a rogue doe, use a wooden fork to hold its neck and push it to the oblique side (run). Never push backwards to avoid hurting the doe.

2.5 set up a protective fence for young deer.

2.6 the hated doe that is ferocious and can never be controlled should be slaughtered in time and must not be taken away.
