The marmot is also called the marmot. The appearance of the marmot is very cute. In recent years, many people say that the marmot is kept as a pet, so it also brings a new business opportunity for farmers. But marmot breeding on a large scale is not as easy as you think. It has a wide range of things to learn. So how do you raise a marmot? Does everyone know? If you don't understand, follow the editor to have a look.

1. Culture preparation

You need to be fully prepared before raising marmots, especially for a novice farmer is the first step to success. First of all, we have to choose a quiet, water and electricity, convenient transportation, suitable for marmot growth environment pruning farm. Then prepare the cages, pots, water dispensers, cushions, temperature control equipment, humidity control equipment, ventilation equipment and vaccine prevention equipment for breeding. Finally, when everything is ready, the introduction and breeding will be carried out.

2. Selection and purchase of seedlings

How to choose the seedlings of marmots? Because we seldom see marmots at ordinary times, and we don't know much about them, we are not good at choosing seedlings. First of all, we can go to the formal breeding base to have a look, and then compare the price, choose a relatively preferential breeding base for seedling selection. When selecting marmot seedlings, we should look at the pedigree of marmots and do not choose inbreeding. There is to pay attention to observe the feeding situation of marmots, choose a good appetite, more active, but there are relatively docile marmots, which is convenient for later management. There is also to know whether there is an epidemic in the local area, to see if the marmots are infected with the disease, and to choose robust seedlings that are free from disease infection.

3. Feeding and management

Feeding and management is the key factor for the success or failure of marmot breeding. Groundhog is a vegetarian animal, mainly based on green materials, such as cabbage, green vegetables, apples and other vegetables, fruits are OK. Generally, it can be fed three times a day, reasonably control the amount of food according to the size of the marmot, and clean up the residue after they finish eating, otherwise they will continue to eat when they are free, seriously affecting the health of the marmot. In the process of breeding, we also need to provide them with adequate drinking water to avoid water loss. In addition, we should pay attention to the management of indoor temperature to avoid heatstroke and colds. Finally, it is necessary to carry out a certain amount of ventilation every day to ensure that the indoor air is fresh.

4. Points for attention

When raising marmots, we have a lot to pay attention to. First of all, it is necessary to replace the cushion material from time to time, mainly according to the humidity of the cushion material and the amount of feces. The second is to regularly carry out sanitary cleaning and disinfection in the breeding room to avoid bacterial infection. Then it is necessary to strictly follow the breeding vaccine control process to carry out vaccination. In addition, there can be no other living things in the farm, otherwise it will be subjected to stress. Finally, although the marmot does not have high requirements for food, but we should also ensure the quality of food, and according to its different growth periods, a reasonable proportion of feed to ensure balanced nutrition.

Marmots are not easy to raise, and it is very challenging for novice farmers, so generally speaking, we do not recommend that novice farmers raise marmots. That's all for today's editor's sharing. If you are interested, you can follow us. So, see you next time.
