How to safely survive the winter in bamboo rat culture

Bamboo rat breeding prospects are considerable, breeding more people, and in cold winter, if the farm does not do a good job of heat preservation measures or heat preservation strength is not enough, then it is easy to cause serious stress of bamboo rats, resulting in serious decline in resistance of bamboo rats, causing a variety of diseases. So how can bamboo rats safely winter? Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian.

1. Healthy feeding increases body temperature

In winter, bamboo rats should strengthen nutrition, open their appetite, and ensure that bamboo rats have sufficient food. Generally, each adult rat has two liang of concentrate per day. The concentrate is mainly corn flour plus bran and trace elements. Mix and stir evenly. Usually one-third of the water mixed with two-thirds of the bamboo should also try to meet the needs, in order to enhance the bamboo rat's own body temperature, cold and warm.

2. Keep warm

When the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, pay attention to heat preservation work, add enough straw for bamboo rat pad nest in the pen house, straw must be dry without mildew. Because the excretion, feeding and humidity of the room will make the straw wet, it is necessary to change the straw once a day to ensure that the bamboo rat nest is as dry and warm as possible. In addition, the temperature of the enclosure had better be kept above 10 degrees, and the delivery room, small bamboo rats and other weak bamboo rats should be kept above 12 degrees. Conditions can also be used infrared lamps, baking electric furnace, charcoal fire and other insulation, if the space is less can choose infrared lamps or baking electric furnace to keep warm, and the space is larger can choose charcoal fire insulation.

3. Ventilation

When keeping the enclosure warm, many farmers will choose the method of high-density breeding and long-term relationship between doors and windows, resulting in poor air circulation, poor air quality, high concentration of harmful gases, easy to induce respiratory diseases, and even poisoning death. Therefore, while keeping warm, do not forget ventilation, should regularly open doors and windows, let the air flow in the bamboo rat house, supplement oxygen, reduce the concentration of harmful gases, in order to achieve the purpose of ventilation and purification of air. Ventilation should be controlled flexibly according to the structure, ventilation equipment and climate of bamboo rat house, especially in the evening and rainy days.

The above is an introduction to how bamboo rat breeding can safely winter. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please pay attention to us.
