Sharing Key Points from Black Guinea Pig Breeding and Management Experience
Black guinea pigs have a very broad diet. For green feed, fresh tender grass is the main choice, such as king grass, napier grass, ryegrass, corn leaves, sugarcane leaves, tree leaves, leafy greens, fruit peels, carrots and sweet potatoes. They have a relatively high digestion rate for crude fiber. If they are not given green feed or dried grass and other plants for a long time,

How to mix feed for hedgehog farming? Practical experience shared
1) Energy of the daily ration. Energy in feed and in the daily ration is a question that must be considered first in the process of raising hedgehogs, because the energy component is the nutrient with the highest content in feed, the largest requirement for hedgehogs, and an important role. Moreover, the three major substances in feed

Hedgehog Farming Experience Sharing: A Complete Analysis of the Key Breeding Techniques
Although the hedgehog is a wild animal, it is easy to raise, and the cost of raising it is low while the returns are high. Hedgehogs not only grow and develop quickly and have strong reproductive capacity, but also eat little, have an omnivorous diet, rarely fall ill, and have strong adaptability, making them easy to tame and raise. The equipment needed for raising hedgehogs is simple,

Sharing daily management experience for raising hedgehogs well
1) Do a good job of daily cleaning and hygiene work. The hedgehog's nest chamber must be cleaned frequently to keep it clean and hygienic. In summer, when the weather is hot, feed is prone to spoilage. The food dish fed the previous evening should be taken out the next morning, washed clean with clean water, and used again in the evening. It must not be left in the nest chamber all the time and then taken out for use at feeding time in the evening; in that way, the leftover food placed in the nest chamber for a day easily rots and spoils, and if the hedgehog eats such leftover food, it will suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. Clean, fresh drinking water should also often be placed in the outer chamber, and the water should be changed once every day; the bedding straw in the nest shed should also be changed frequently to maintain hygiene.

Some Experience Sharing on Artificial Breeding of Hedgehogs
The hedgehog is a lovable little animal. Although it has a spiny armor, it is gentle in temperament and not aggressive. Its appearance is very cartoon-like. Not to mention the baby hedgehog that has not yet lost its childishness, even the appearance of adult hedgehogs is innocent and naive.

How to deal with low reproductive rates in meat sheep? Practical solutions shared
Feeding fishmeal to meat sheep can improve the reproductive rate. Feed-grade fishmeal contains 90% dry matter, of which about 15% is ash, about 65% is crude protein (about 60% is digestible protein that can be directly used by animals), and about 7% is minerals such as crocodile [sic] and phosphorus. It is a good animal-based feed. In order to improve the breeding value of stud rams, further improve the efficiency of sheep artificial insemination, and explore ways to solve the source of protein feed, during the winter mating of 1972, at three mating points of the Heka Stud Sheep Farm, we trial-fed fishmeal to Xinjiang, Tsigai, Polwarth and crossbred rams bred on the farm, with good results. The feeding method is to sprinkle the fishmeal into the feed and mix it evenly. Fishmeal contains long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and is a good source of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. Long-chain fatty acids have greater resistance to rumen bacteria. In addition to being rich in protein and more than 50% rumen-undegradable protein, which can increase milk yield and the protein percentage of cow's milk and sheep's milk, another important aspect of fishmeal is that it can inhibit the prostaglandin levels of cows and ewes. According to reports, 30 high-yielding ewes were fed diets with 0, 2.6, 5.2 and 7.8% fishmeal for a total of 42 days, and the results showed that inhibition of prostaglandins in ewes can improve embryo survival rate.</p><p></p><p>Supplementing more digestible undegradable protein in late pregnancy and early lactation can significantly increase peak milk yield and milk yield in the first 8 weeks of lactation. In most studies, milk composition increased somewhat, especially milk protein yield in early lactation. In addition, feeding more digestible undegradable protein may also increase appetite, and fishmeal is a good source of digestible undegradable protein.</p><p>Strengthen selection and mating</p><p>Selection of stud rams: select and breed rams from the offspring of ewes with high reproductive rates. They are required to have standard body shape and appearance, be robust, have well-developed testicles, and have obvious male characteristics, and through measures such as semen quality testing and progeny testing, discover and eliminate rams that do not meet the requirements.</p><p>Selection of ewes: select excellent individuals from the offspring of prolific ewes, and pay attention to their lactation and nursing performance. Prolific ewes can also be retained based on pedigree.</p><p>Use of prolific genes</p><p>Introducing prolific breeds and crossbreeding them with local breeds is the fastest, most effective and simplest method to improve the reproductive rate of meat sheep.</p><p>Control of breeding technology</p><p>Estrus control: 1. Early weaning of lambs is conducive to implementing the technology of two lambings per year. 2. Hormone treatment. First carry out early weaning of lambs, then treat ewes with progesterone for about 10 days, and after withdrawal inject them with gonadotropin (RMSG), which can induce estrus and ovulation. 3. Use the prostaglandin method. Several days after the end of estrus in ewes, infuse prostaglandin into the uterus or inject it intramuscularly, and the ewes will come into estrus 2 to 3 days after treatment.</p><p>Inducing twin and multiple births: 1. Supplementary feeding to stimulate estrus. Carry out supplementary feeding one month before mating to strengthen body condition and promote estrus. 2. Use twin-lamb stimulant or twinning agent. For the water-based product, inject 1 ml per sheep subcutaneously in the neck 5 weeks and 2 weeks before mating; for the oil-based product, inject 2 ml per sheep intramuscularly in the rump 2 weeks before mating.</p><p>Artificial insemination: adopt advanced insemination techniques to improve the conception rate.</p>

How to Save on Roughage Feed When Raising Cattle? Practical Methods Shared
1. Feed less but more often. If you feed all at once, cattle easily develop the bad habit of being picky about palatable forage, which causes feed waste. Feeding less but more often can save forage. 2. Feed long grass cut short. As the saying goes: "Cut grass three times into inch lengths, and even without grain they will gain fat." Feeding cattle forage after chopping it short saves about
