New breakthrough in the treatment of self-biting syndrome in foxes, raccoon dogs and minks
Self-biting syndrome is a common disease of captive fur-bearing animals such as foxes and minks. In recent years, it has occurred in many farms and households in China, causing great economic losses. There had been no specific prevention or treatment measures for this disease, and the key point was that the cause had not been identified. Regarding the cause, people had put forward many hypotheses or claims, but these had not truly served to guide prevention and treatment. Since the early 1990s, researchers have carried out some research work on the cause of the disease. In the course of research and experiments, the cause of self-biting syndrome was identified,

What are the advantages of raising mink, foxes and raccoon dogs together?
Advantages of farming 2008-1-31 14:55:00 Source: rosenchung Raoyang County in Hengshui, Hebei, is a major county for fur animal farming, with different breeds such as mink, fox and raccoon dog, but the most profitable are the fox and the raccoon dog, because at the same price, they can always make 100 yuan more profit per pelt than others. More and more villagers in Hengshui are also farming foxes. Raoyang County is a major mink-farming county in the Hengshui area of Hebei, yet now besides

What are the reproductive characteristics of the Ussuri raccoon dog?
1. Sexual maturity: Young raccoon dogs reach sexual maturity at 8-10 months of age, with males maturing slightly earlier than females. 2. Sexual cycle: The raccoon dog is an animal that comes into estrus once a year. The testes of the male begin developing from the autumn equinox, and by late January to early February the testes become soft in texture, mature sperm are present in the epididymis, sexual desire begins to show, and mating can take place. The entire mating period can last 60-90 days. After the mating period ends, the testes rapidly atrophy, returning to a resting state by May, until they develop again at the autumn equinox, showing an annual cyclical change. The sexual organ development of the female raccoon dog is similar to that of the male

Raccoon Dog Feed Processing Methods and Technical Key Points
Raccoon dog feed includes animal-based feed, plant-based feed and supplemental 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 feed nutrients 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. (1) Processing of fish and meat feed Fresh marine mixed fish, meat, liver, kidney, heart and fresh blood of healthy animals, etc., remove large pieces of fat, fully wash away soil and impurities, then mince and feed raw. Fish and meat feed of poorer quality but still usable must first be fully washed with clean water, then soaked and disinfected in a 0.05% potassium permanganate solution for 5-10 minutes, and washed again with clean water before being minced and fed. Severely spoiled fish and meat are prohibited from being processed and used. The intestines, spleen, lungs and other offal of freshwater fish and poultry must be fed cooked. Cysticercus-infected pork (measly pork) can be processed and used after high-pressure steaming or thorough cooking and removal of fat. Fish meal and meat-and-bone meal should be soaked for 3-4 hours, with water changed 2-3 times, to remove excess salt before being mixed with other feed and fed. Blood meal and liver residue meal should be steamed and cooked before use. Silkworm pupae should be fully soaked, de-alkalized, then steamed, cooked and minced before use.

How to prevent and treat selenium deficiency in raccoon dogs? Farmers need to master these methods
Selenium deficiency has obvious regional characteristics. Generally, a selenium-deficient geological environment causes selenium deficiency in humans and livestock, especially in years with abundant 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 causing 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. Under actual production conditions, liver necrosis may occur, or it may appear together with muscular dystrophy, mulberry heart, and white muscle disease. Clinically, various animals show different manifestations, but the common manifestations are decreased productivity, reduced number of offspring, infertility, movement disorders, and in mammals, retained placenta. When raising animals in selenium-deficient areas, attention should be paid to selenium supplementation.

Prevention and Treatment of Common Diseases in Foxes and Raccoon Dogs During the Whelping and Lactation Period
I. Miscarriage. There are many causes of miscarriage, such as infectious diseases, chronic diseases, parasites, trauma, poisoning and other factors, but the most important are still mistakes in feeding and management, such as long-term malnutrition, feeding moldy feed, lack of vitamins or trace elements, an unsettled animal farm, sudden fright, etc., all of which can cause miscarriage. Prevention and treatment methods: (1) Intramuscular injection of 2 ml of compound vitamin B, intramuscular injection of 1% progesterone, 0.3-0.5 ml each time, injected 2 times consecutively; (2) Intramuscular injection of penicillin, 400,000-800,000 units each time; or injection of

Management Points for Raccoon Dog Farming in Different Periods
Because the raccoon dog tolerates coarse feed, has few diseases, is easy to manage, and has low farming costs, it is favored by many fur animal farmers. However, some farmers manage raccoon dogs in a relatively extensive way, resulting in poor fur quality and small pelts, which affects economic returns. Below is a brief introduction to the management points for raccoon dogs in each period. 1. Early stage of the pre-breeding period: the daily ration should be based on the principle of eating enough, and animal feed should not be less than 10% of the daily ration. Increase feed with a high fat content; the feed should be diverse and sufficient drinking water should be provided. Late stage of the pre-breeding period

What Raccoon Dog Breeds Are There? Detailed Explanation of Selection Criteria
1. Breeds The raccoon dog belongs to the order Carnivora, family Canidae, and is a medium-sized fur animal. According to "Fauna of China" (1987), raccoon dogs in China can be divided into 3 subspecies, namely the nominate subspecies, the Northeast subspecies, and the Southwest subspecies: (1) Nominate subspecies: produced in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces and regions, body length 50-53 cm, short coat, underfur is brownish yellow, guard hairs have fewer black tips, and the black longitudinal stripe on the back is also not obvious.

Prevention and Treatment Methods for Common Autumn Diseases in Foxes and Raccoon Dogs
The cause of gastroenteritis is mainly improper feeding and management, sudden feed changes or spoiled and deteriorated feed, excessive feed intake, etc.; in addition, long-distance and prolonged transport, extreme fatigue of the animals, and reduced body resistance can also cause this disease; furthermore, diseases such as canine distemper, pasteurellosis, and colibacillosis can cause secondary gastroenteritis. The clinical manifestations are reduced appetite at the beginning of the disease, sometimes vomiting, complete loss of appetite in the later stage, congestion of the oral mucosa, dryness and fever, listlessness, and reluctance to move. The abdomen is tucked up, the back is arched, and bowel sounds

Raccoon Dog Feed and Nutrition (Part Two): A Detailed Explanation of Protein
Protein is a complex organic compound. It is mainly composed of 4 elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, and some also contain a small amount of sulfur. Certain proteins also contain trace amounts of iron, copper, iodine, calcium, phosphorus and other elements. The basic structural unit of protein is the amino acid requirement. For the raccoon dog, there are 8 essential amino acids, namely methionine, tryptophan, threonine, valine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine and cystine. There are 3 sulfur-containing amino acids directly related to fur growth: methionine, cystine and cysteine. Protein in
