Artificial culture of bamboo raccoon

The bamboo raccoon, also known as the Chinese bamboo rat, the bamboo root pig, and the winter raccoon, is a kind of herbivore with small body size and strong fertility. The bamboo beaver is fat, 40 cm to 45 cm in length, and grows faster. It can weigh up to 2 kg in 4 months of age. Wild bamboo raccoon eats bamboo root, honeysuckle, tender bamboo and bamboo shoots, and can eat all kinds of straw after domestication. The bamboo raccoon is distributed in most of the provinces and regions in our country. In recent years, due to the drastic reduction of wild resources caused by over-harvesting, the market is in short supply. The domestically cultivated bamboo raccoon is gradually emerging and is an emerging and less risky road to prosperity. A brief introduction to the artificial breeding technology of bamboo raccoon is presented. First, the breeding site selection The bamboo raccoon is a kind of burrowing animal that is resistant to low temperature, timid, and likes to live in a dark, cool, quiet and pollution-free environment. It is afraid of direct sunlight and strong light, fear of noise, toxic gases and polluted environment. It is suitable to grow in an environment of 8°C to 28°C. At the same time, the bamboo raccoon farms should be selected where the ground is high and the drainage is good. There are places with fresh air such as bamboo forests and fruit trees. Second, the construction of the nest room Small-scale farming can be built in the courtyard under the fence or open space, can also use the vacant old houses, abandoned warehouses built bamboo nest. The beaver room requires dark light, strong ground and a smooth inner wall. According to use can build different types of feeding ponds. 1 large cement pool. With an area of ​​more than 2 square meters, some hollow cement pipes can be placed in the pool for hiding by bamboo raccoon. The large cement pool is suitable for weaning cubs and young bees. 2 breeding ponds. It consists of two small pools, namely, the inner and outer pools, the inner pool as the nest room, and the outer pool as the feeding room and sports field. At the bottom of the inner and outer pools, a connecting hole with a diameter of about 12 cm was opened for access by the beavers. The specifications of the interior room should be strictly controlled within a length and width of 3025 cm. The small area is not conducive to the mating of the bamboo raccoon. The area of ​​the bamboo raccoon does not automatically remove the excrement and food residues in the nest. Outer room specifications: length, width and height are 704,070 cm. The pool surface should be smoothed with cement plaster to prevent bamboo burrows from fleeing. Special attention should be paid to the smoothness of the pool angle in order to prevent the bamboo raccoon from using the reaction force of the angle between the pool walls to escape. Third, the selection and reproduction of excellent species of raccoon should be a healthy, disease-free pain, light hair, light weight, weight 1.5 kg to 2 kg, female beet nipple large and uniform, public testicles obvious testicles, their mothers have more litter of adult bamboo The raccoon, who has already given birth, is not selected. It is better to keep the female and the raccoon at a ratio of 2:1, which can guarantee the reproduction rate of 3 to 4 births per year. The bamboo raccoon mates in the spring and autumn, with 3 to 5 litters per litter and 8 to 10 eggs per well. Juveniles are sexually mature after 4 months of age. The estrus of the early estrus was gradually separated from the vulva, the pudendal was swollen, smooth and rounded, pink, with a portable tail, genital eversion; the mid-parent cubs had pink or reddish-mucous secretion; the late estrus performance was similar to the early stage. Most female mates have a high rate of conception during mid-mother estrus. When the lioness escorted, she crawled around the cage and issued a crowing sound. Sometimes the siberian cub also actively approached the cub. The raccoon raccoon mated mostly at night. The maternal pups come alive about 60 days after mating. The newborn puppies weigh only about 10 grams and the whole body is hairless. The act of feeding the fodder during lactation is light. Do not disturb the female fox to prevent it from biting and throwing it away. It is even more difficult to touch the cubs with their hands, so that they will not be stenciled by the female raccoon. Juveniles are suitable for weaning for 30 days to 35 days. 4. Daily feeding and management The bamboo raccoon is resistant to rough feeding and has strong digestive ability to plant feeds. It is mainly fed according to the following foods: 1 Cereal feed, including corn, rice, sweet potato, etc., accounts for 50% to 60% of the daily diet, average daily 30 grams to 50 grams, the main food for the bamboo raccoon; 2 grass roots and bamboo feed, including bamboo roots, bamboo sticks, bamboo shoots, thatch grass, etc., accounting for 20% of the diet; 3 fruit and vegetable feed, including radish, alfalfa, sugar cane, etc. 20% of diet. The above feed can be fed once in the morning and evening. V. Prevention of Common Diseases The bamboo raccoon has strong disease resistance and high survival rate, but large groups of broilers still have to do a good job in epidemic prevention. During the breeding process, there are the following common diseases. 1. Trauma due to mutual robbery, bamboo raccoon mixed group, fighting each other and bite each other, or cage wounds during transportation, wounds in the mouth, head, neck, waist and limbs, such as treatment is not timely, due to pus Septicemia and death. Slight wounds were coated with iodine to prevent infection, and those with severe wounds drained their gravy and washed their wounds with anti-inflammatory water. After spreading iodine, they were sprinkled with anti-inflammatory powder and kept alone. 2. Gastroenteritis is caused by unclean feed and excessive intake of fruit and vegetable feed containing more water. The sick raccoon showed loss of appetite, lack of energy, diarrhea, and wet hair on the abdomen and tail. The disease was diagnosed by observing the feces. The diseased bamboo burrow feces are usually granules and granules stick together (normal feces should be texture loose, and force is scattered), the early detection of the disease is easy to cure. One piece of terramycin may be used to grind the mixture of corn flour or rice twice a day. You can also use intramuscular injection of chloramphenicol, 0.5 ml each time, once a day, continuous injection for 2 days to recover. 3. Cabot indigestion is caused by eating raw material that is difficult to digest. The diseased bees were filled with undigested food in their abdomen, and their abdomen bulged. Three grams of hawthorn and malt can be used to soak the food in Jianshui. After the water is dried, add 1 tablet of yeast and feed it for 3 days. 4. The cold caused by sudden changes in the weather caused the bamboo raccoon to be caught in the wind and rain. The diseased pups breathe faster, chills, runny nose, reduced food or no food. Treatment can be used intramuscular injection of compound aminopyrine, 0.5 ml each time, 2 times a day. China Agricultural Network Editor
