Prevention and Treatment Methods and Key Technical Points for Common Diseases in Foxes and Raccoon Dogs
From July to September, breeding foxes and raccoon dogs enter the recovery period, and the young enter the growing period. The common diseases in this period are mainly the following. (1) Heatstroke (sunstroke and heat exhaustion) This disease occurs in the midsummer season, when the temperature is too high and ventilation is poor, and the animal is exposed to direct sunlight, causing brain overheating (sunstroke) or the whole body being stimulated by heat (heat exhaustion). It usually occurs rapidly, and the mortality rate is very high. Foxes and raccoon dogs have extremely underdeveloped sweat glands and dissipate body heat slowly, making it very easy for their body temperature to rise, with listlessness, staggering

Detailed Explanation of White Raccoon Dog Breeding Methods and Technical Key Points
White Raccoon Dogs and Their Characteristics Raccoon dogs in nature have always been dark brown; this common ordinary color type is genetically called the wild type. In 1974, the Harbin Zoo in Heilongjiang Province acquired a rare male white raccoon dog (eyes and muzzle both pale pink), and in 1980, among domestic raccoon dog populations in the three northeastern provinces, white raccoon dogs or piebald raccoon dogs with yellow-brown or pale blue eyes and black muzzles were successively discovered. These special color types differing 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 precious white raccoon dog mutations

Nutritional Requirements of Raccoon Dogs and Scientific Feeding Methods
The survival of raccoon dogs requires 6 nutrients, which can be grouped into three major categories. 1. Animal-based feed is the source of digestible protein. It mainly includes meat, fish, eggs, fish and meat by-products, and dried animal feed. Among these, meat, milk, and offal such as heart, liver, and kidneys are sources of complete protein. They have high nutritional value and should be effectively used during the breeding period and the growing period of young raccoon dogs. Fish and meat by-products are relatively low in price and can serve as the basic protein feed year-round. Dried animal feed and feed yeast can serve as substitutes or supplements for animal protein.

Detailed Explanation of Selection and Matching Methods for Proven Breeding Raccoon Dogs
Selection and Matching Methods for Proven Breeding Raccoon Dogs. After a year of breeding and reproduction, the raccoon dog farm has already grasped the mating ability of all male raccoon dogs and the estrus, littering, maternal behavior, and milk secretion of female raccoon dogs. At the same time, because proven female raccoon dogs generally have the highest litter size in the second to fourth years, after the first year's littering and before skinning, a selection is made of all proven male and female raccoon dogs according to the record files, so as to gradually breed excellent breeding raccoon dogs. Male raccoon dogs kept for breeding should be selected for tall height and long body, thick hind limbs and broad chest, long and straight back and waist, long and fluffy tail, and tes-

Processing Methods and Technical Key Points for Fox, Raccoon Dog and Mink Feed
Fur-bearing animals such as mink and foxes have well-developed canine teeth, a short digestive tract, a small stomach volume and no cecum, food passes through the digestive tract quickly, and their digestive glands secrete little amylase but more lipase. Therefore, their feed should be based mainly on animal feed, and in particular animal protein feed should account for a very large proportion of the daily ration. Thus, the feed processing and preparation methods for mink and foxes have distinctive characteristics, which are introduced below: 1. Material selection. Remove large pieces of fat from meat feed, remove the gallbladder and thyroid from livestock and poultry offal, and pick out lumps, impurities or foreign matter from dry animal powder feed and grain powder.

A Detailed Guide to the Processing and Preparation Methods of Raccoon Dog Feed
The feed of raccoon dogs includes animal-based feed, plant-based feed and supplementary feed. The supply and composition of feed have a great influence on the health, reproduction and fur quality of raccoon dogs. To practice scientific raccoon dog farming, one must understand the effects of the nutrients in feed on raccoon dogs, so as to reasonably and correctly formulate and process feed, and obtain the best economic benefits with the least feed consumption. Therefore, the processing and preparation of feed is very important. I. Feed Processing (1) Processing of fish and meat feed Fresh marine mixed fish, and the meat, liver,

Questions and Answers on Building a Raccoon Dog Farm and Introducing Breeding Stock
Q: What are the prospects for raccoon dog farming? Can it make money? A: The prospects for raccoon dog farming are promising, and it can make money. Q: Which regions are suitable for developing raccoon dog farming? A: The raccoon dog's place of origin is in the northern regions of our country, and it can be raised in any area north of 30°N latitude. The quality of raccoon dog pelts produced in higher-latitude regions is superior to that of pelts from lower-latitude regions (30°--40°). To ensure pelt quality, breeding stock should be introduced from high-latitude regions (north of 40°) as much as possible, and preferably a portion of new breeding stock should be introduced every year to renew the bloodline and improve

Detailed Explanation of Key Points for the Prevention and Control of Mink and Raccoon Dog Diseases
This disease is an acute, highly contagious infectious disease caused by a virus. The main characteristics of this disease are severe diarrhea, with grayish-white sloughed intestinal mucosa and fibrin mucous masses in the feces, a significant decrease in white blood cells, and severe gastrointestinal inflammatory changes. 1. Pathogen The pathogen of this disease is raccoon dog enteritis virus, which has the main characteristics of the parvovirus group. From the perspective of the virus, raccoon dog enteritis virus is related to feline panleukopenia virus, and the vaccines prepared from each can provide cross-protection to each other; however, protection against canine parvovirus enteritis is poor. 2. Epidemiological characteristics

Detailed Explanation of Treatment Techniques and Methods for Raccoon Dog Diseases
(1) Restraint methods for raccoon dogs. For manual restraint, hold a wooden stick in one hand and wave it in front of the raccoon dog's eyes to distract its attention, while the other hand seizes the opportunity to quickly grab the tail and lift it from the cage, clamping the neck under the armpit, or securing it on the ground or on an operating table. If a capture board, capture tongs, capture net, or capture snare is available, it can be used to clamp the raccoon dog's neck or enclose its entire body, and with the assistance of a helper, diagnosis and treatment can be carried out. Pharmacological restraint can also be used, namely diluting chloral hydrate with a 2% starch solution into a 10% solution for enema administration to the raccoon dog.

What causes raccoon dogs to get smaller and smaller as they grow
(1) Breed degeneration: breed degeneration lowers production performance, which leads to raccoon dogs only eating without gaining meat. (2) Severe selenium deficiency: selenium deficiency causes white muscle disease in animals, with muscle atrophy and gradual emaciation, what farmers call "raccoon dog emaciation" (3) Parasitic infection: eperythrozoonosis and other diseases also produce this symptom. For treatment, use sodium selenite vitamin E injection. Intramuscular injection or mixing sodium selenite powder into feed; recovery takes a relatively long time. During the rearing process, trace elements and various nutrients should be supplemented by feeding a complete feed.
