Fox and raccoon dog mange mite disease must be carefully guarded against in autumn and winter, never be overlooked
In the current season, the breeding of fur animals is entering the fur growth period. In addition to meeting the various nutrients required for fur growth, special attention should be paid to the occurrence of external parasitic diseases. Zhaoyuan Farm has 100,000 foxes and raccoon dogs in stock and has rich experience in the prevention and treatment of lice and mange mite disease. The precautions are introduced as follows: Pay attention to observation. Skin diseases such as lice and mange mite disease cause great harm to fur animal breeding. They should attract sufficient attention from the vast number of breeding farms and breeders. Especially in the current winter fur growth season, inspecting and preventing mange mite disease is work that breeders must not neglect before pelting.

4 Important Life Habits You Must Know for Raccoon Dog Farming
The raccoon dog's life habits have the following four characteristics. (1) Gregariousness: wild raccoon dogs usually live in pairs in dens, with 1 male and 1 female per den, though there are also cases of 1 male with multiple females or 1 female with multiple males. The parents and pups of neighboring dens usually play and frolic together, and mother raccoon dogs sometimes even nurse each other's young indiscriminately. Under domestic conditions, this characteristic can be used to group weaned pups into groups of 10~20 and raise them together in pens. (2) Nocturnal: this characteristic is very obvious in wild raccoon dogs. They sleep in their dens during the day and come out around dusk and dawn to move about and

Raccoon dog feed and nutrition, lecture 3: fats
In feed composition analysis, all substances that can be extracted with ether are collectively called crude fat, which includes fats, glycerol and lipoid compounds, etc. Fat is an essential component of the body. For example, the components of mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus in germ cells are mainly phospholipids, nerve tissue contains large amounts of lecithin and cephalin, and blood contains various fats. Skin and fur contain large amounts of neutral fats, phospholipids, cholesterol and waxes, etc. Fat is the main source of heat energy for the animal body and also the best form of energy storage. 1 gram of fat in the body

Breeding Methods and Key Technical Points for White Raccoon Dogs
White Raccoon Dogs and Their Characteristics. Raccoon dogs in nature have always been dark brown; this common, ordinary color type is genetically known as the wild type. In 1974, the Harbin Zoo in Heilongjiang Province acquired a rare male white raccoon dog (with pale pink eyes and muzzle), and in 1980, white raccoon dogs or piebald raccoon dogs with yellowish-brown or pale blue eyes and black muzzles were successively found among domestic raccoon dog populations in the three provinces of Northeast China. These special color types, distinct from the wild-type coat color, are called mutant types. The Institute of Special Animal and Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences used these valuable white raccoon dog mutant genes

Causes and Prevention Methods of Stunted Raccoon Dogs
Stunted raccoon dogs refer to commercial raccoon dogs that cannot be raised to marketable size during the growing period after weaning and separation from the litter, showing no growth, small body size, being all skin and bones, and with messy fur, only reaching 2.5-3.5 kg by the growing period. Causes: There are many reasons for the formation of stunted raccoon dogs, generally as follows: unreasonable nutritional combination and incomplete nutritional value are the main causes of stunted raccoon dogs. Breeders try to save money and feed only cornmeal or with very little other feed. Because the feed is severely lacking in nutrition and cannot meet the growth needs of raccoon dogs, the raccoon dogs do not grow and become stunted.

What are the basic methods for diagnosing raccoon dog diseases?
Key points for attention in practical application. Reasonable combination of different protein feeds. Because different protein feeds differ in quality, mainly in essential amino acid content, when formulating dairy cow feed, the reasonable combination of protein feeds must be considered to ensure that dairy cows take in sufficient and appropriate protein nutrients. In actual production, when the feeds we use more of are corn meal, corn silage and DDGS, since these feeds contain more methionine and are relatively deficient in lysine, lysine becomes

Prevention and Treatment Methods for Vitamin B Deficiency in Raccoon Dogs
Vitamin B1 Deficiency Vitamin B1 deficiency can directly harm the health of both female and young animals. It can cause pregnant females to lose appetite, develop movement incoordination, staggering gait, and pale visible mucous membranes, and they are prone to stillbirth, decayed fetuses, difficult labor, and delivery of mummified fetuses. Newborn pups show bleeding on the head, and the mortality rate is relatively high. Prevention and treatment measures: (1) Vitamin B1 should be added to the feed during pregnancy, 2-3 mg per animal per day, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of this disease; (2) Do not feed feed that can destroy vitamin B1 for a long time, such as raw

How to mix feed for raccoon dogs? Teaching you the correct method
The feed for raccoon dogs includes animal feed, plant feed, and supplemental feed. The supply and composition of feed have a great impact on the health, reproduction, and fur quality of raccoon dogs. To practice scientific raccoon dog farming, one must understand the effects of feed nutrients on raccoon dogs, so as to reasonably and correctly formulate and process feed, and achieve the best economic benefits with the least feed consumption. Therefore, the processing and mixing of feed is very important. After the above processing, the feed must be strictly weighed and then minced and mixed. Small raccoon dog farms can mince several kinds of feed together;

What is the Jilin white raccoon dog? An introduction to the breed characteristics of the raccoon dog
The Institute of Special Animal and Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences used the mutant white gene found in the wild coat color (common color type) and, after 16 years of research, finally succeeded in breeding our existing new color type white raccoon dog, the Jilin white raccoon dog. In terms of phenotype, the new color type white raccoon dog has two forms: one retains the wild-type coat color only around the eye rims, ear edges, nose tip, claws and tail tip, while the guard hairs and underfur on all other parts of the body are pure white; the other has pure white guard hairs and underfur on all parts of the body. The two white raccoon dogs are the same as the wild-type raccoon dog in body shape, appearance, habits, reproductive capacity and so on; they are docile in temperament, prone to obesity and relatively heavy in body weight.

What are the basic methods for diagnosing diseases in raccoon dogs?
(1) General examination includes inquiry, visual inspection, palpation, auscultation, percussion, and olfactory examination. (2) Necropsy technique. The necropsy technique is a method that uses knowledge of pathological anatomy to make an on-site diagnosis based on the pathological changes in the carcass. The necropsy should be performed as soon as possible after the raccoon dog dies, to prevent postmortem changes from affecting the diagnosis. The necropsy is best performed in the pathology room of the animal farm. If conditions do not allow it, and the necropsy must be performed outdoors, choose a place with dry terrain, far from water sources, roads, and residences, and properly dispose of the carcass after the necropsy.
