How to prevent and treat selenium deficiency in raccoon dogs? Detailed methods and key points
Prevention and treatment of selenium deficiency in raccoon dogs. Selenium deficiency has obvious regional characteristics. Generally, a selenium-deficient geological environment causes selenium deficiency in humans and livestock, especially in years with heavy autumn rain, when selenium in the surface soil is lost with the rainwater, and herbivorous or omnivorous animals find it difficult to obtain enough selenium from plants, thus developing selenium deficiency. The narrow belt from northeast to southwest China is all selenium-deficient areas, with western Heilongjiang Province and Liangshan in Sichuan being the most deficient. In selenium-deficient animals, the selenium concentration in the organs and tissues of the body decreases, and in

Detailed Explanation of Key Points of Electroejaculation Semen Collection Technology in White Raccoon Dogs
In recent years, colored fur has been consistently popular in the fur market, which has driven a surge in breeding of colored fur-bearing animals. As one of the few colored varieties among raccoon dogs, the white raccoon dog has seen rapid growth in popularity. In 2005, the price of breeding males exceeded 4000 yuan each, far surpassing other fur-bearing animals and even surpassing imported Finnish foxes. There is no shortage of hype factors here, but the main reason is the shortage of white raccoon dogs. Because the reproduction of white raccoon dogs is based on dominant inheritance, and lethal genes objectively exist in their own reproduction, white raccoon dogs must be mated with ordinary raccoon dogs

How to manage and care for raccoon dogs during pregnancy? These key points are what farmers need to master
I. Feed supply. Many farmers believe that after a female raccoon dog becomes pregnant, the amount of feed and supplements should be increased to boost nutrition. However, years of practical experience have proven that doing so is counterproductive. The correct ration of feed and supplements should be as follows: within 40 days after mating is completed, the feeding frequency should still be once per day, and the feed amount per animal is generally no more than 35 grams of corn flour or complete feed, 20 grams of fish meal, and for eggs, at most 1 egg (about 75 grams) for 5 raccoon dogs. If overfed

What to do about acute gastric dilation in raccoon dogs? Practical solutions shared
Acute gastric dilation occurs mostly in silver-black foxes, Arctic foxes, sables, mink, nutria and raccoon dogs. It is caused by poor feed quality or overeating, which weakens the stomach's contraction and secretion functions, allowing microorganisms to multiply in large numbers and produce gas, leading to enlargement of the gastric volume and extreme dilation of the stomach wall. According to the cause, it can be divided into primary gastric dilation and secondary gastric dilation. The former is mostly caused by eating excessive amounts of palatable, dry, difficult-to-digest or easily fermentable food, followed by strenuous exercise or drinking a large amount of cold water, thereby causing acute gastric

Three key issues raccoon dog breeders must currently pay attention to
Entering mid-September, raccoon dogs enter the late fattening stage, a period of transition from the growth stage to the fur maturation stage. For breeders, this period until pelting (around November 20) is the most critical time in the breeding process; the quality of management directly affects the success and profitability of the operation, and breeders must not be careless. So how can one correctly grasp this critical period of about two months to maximize breeding profits? The years of experience of successful breeders tells us that one should start from the following three aspects

Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency in Raccoon Dogs and Methods of Prevention and Treatment
The absorption of VD not only promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, but also acts on bone tissue. Although raccoon dogs are physiologically predisposed against VD absorption, conventional farming practices mostly use fish as feed, so VD deficiency is generally uncommon; however, in early-weaned raccoon dog pups, the disease readily occurs when the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in the artificially fed diet is imbalanced, when inorganic salts, vitamins and protein are deficient, or when the pups suffer from gastroenteritis and are kept in dark, unsanitary cages without ultraviolet exposure. The clinical manifestations of VD deficiency mainly

What are the common diseases of foxes and raccoon dogs during gestation and the whelping period?
Foxes and raccoon dogs have now entered the critical stage of gestation and whelping since the spring estrus and mating, and a series of changes have taken place in their physiological functions, making them extremely sensitive to external stimuli, so the incidence of disease is very high. Recently many readers have consulted us on this matter. In response, the editor has specially invited Professor Hua Shufang of the Institute of Special Animal and Plant Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, to give an introduction to the prevention and treatment of common diseases of foxes and raccoon dogs during gestation and the whelping and lactation period. 1. What are the manifestations of gastroenteritis during gestation and the whelping period, and how is it prevented and treated? Answer: During gestation and the whelping period, the

Frequently Asked Questions About Gardnerella Infection in Foxes, Mink and Raccoon Dogs
1 How do you determine that a fur animal has contracted an infectious disease? Answer: (1) Infectious diseases are all caused by pathogenic microorganisms, and each infectious disease has its own specific pathogenic microorganism. For example, canine distemper is caused by infection with canine distemper virus of the Paramyxoviridae family, fox encephalitis is caused by infection with canine adenovirus, and Aleutian disease of mink is caused by infection with Aleutian virus of the Parvoviridae family. Pasteurellosis is caused by infection with Pasteurella multocida, and this must be confirmed through pathogen isolation and identification, immunological diagnostic methods, and so on. (2) Infectious diseases are contagious and epidemic.

Prevention and Control Methods and Technical Key Points for Canine Distemper in Foxes, Raccoon Dogs and Mink
In some fox and raccoon dog farms and mink farms, outbreaks of canine distemper have occurred. Regarding the prevention and control of canine distemper, the following views are discussed: Concerning the prevention and control of canine distemper, after decades of research, a variety of attenuated and inactivated vaccines have been developed in terms of its etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, pathological diagnosis and immunoprophylaxis, and many vaccines have already been supplied to the market as official commercial products. However, in recent years, the prevalence of canine distemper and the losses it has caused to the world's dog industry and fur animal breeding industry have far exceeded

Detailed Explanation of Feed Sources and Scientific Feeding Methods for Raccoon Dogs
1 Feed Sources 1.1 Legumes Except for poisonous fish such as pufferfish, most marine and freshwater fish can be used as feed for raccoon dogs. In addition to high protein content, fish also contain fat, vitamin A, vitamin D, and inorganic salts. Their digestibility is almost the same as that of meat, and the energy content varies greatly depending on the fish species. Fresh fish fed raw has higher nutritional value than cooked, but some marine fish and most freshwater fish contain thiaminase, which can destroy vitamin B1. Long-term raw feeding can easily cause vitamin B2 deficiency.
