A detailed explanation of dog farming techniques and methods, mastering the key points of scientific feeding and management

SummarySelecting puppies: observe whether the body shape is well-proportioned, whether the appetite is strong, and whether the coat color is bright; puppies need to be vaccinated before being placed in the farm. Daily management: clean the dog house every day, wash the feed troughs and water troughs, disinfect the dog house every half month, and ensure sufficient activity time for the dogs every day. Preparing feed: feed 3 times a day; food can include cornmeal, complete feed, animal offal, etc., and add an appropriate amount of bone meal, bean dregs and other feed.

1. Choosing the farming site

The farming site should be chosen in a place with convenient transportation, no noise, level and dry ground, sufficient sunlight, and convenient water and electricity supply; there should be no pollution around the site.

2. Building the dog house

1. Cement, blue bricks, cement tiles, steel bars, sand and mud, etc. can be used to build the dog house. During this period, ensure that the dog house has good warmth retention, and that the doors and windows are wide for ventilation. Inside the dog house, cages of 1.2-1.4m can be arranged, with the cages at a height of 5-8cm from the ground. The bottom of the cages can be covered with wire mesh, and then place a worn quilt in each cage as a dog bed.

2. Keep the distance between each cage at about 20cm. If the distance is too close, dogs in estrus will fight; properly controlling the distance can avoid accidental injuries.

3. Disinfecting the dog house

After the dog house is built, the farm should be comprehensively disinfected. During this period, lime can be sprinkled on the ground, which can effectively disinfect and sterilize, and can also absorb moisture from the ground. Then use medicinal liquid to disinfect the roof and walls, which helps improve the disinfection effect. After disinfection is completed, wait to stock the dogs.

4. Selecting puppies

1. The selection of puppies should be determined according to the direction of farming. Generally, meat dogs are raised, or hybrid native dogs, and a small number of people raise large dog breeds, as well as pet-type dogs. It is generally recommended to raise meat dogs, because meat dogs require less investment and produce quick results.

2. Puppies can be purchased from large farms. When selecting, carefully observe the puppies' physical condition, such as whether the body shape is well-proportioned, whether the appetite is strong, and whether the coat color is bright. These are all things to pay attention to when selecting puppies. After selecting the puppies, transport can be carried out.

5. Temporarily raising the puppies

After the puppies are transported back, they need about 7 days of temporary raising and recovery, so that the puppies can adapt to the new environment and new feeding method as soon as possible. If during this period the puppies show poor appetite or symptoms of illness, it is necessary to adjust the feed in time and treat the sick puppies. After temporary raising is completed, the puppies should be vaccinated and then placed in the farm for raising.

6. Daily management

During the farming process, the dog house should be cleaned every day. During this period, the feed troughs and water troughs used by the puppies should be washed once a day, which helps reduce the probability of illness in the puppies. In addition, disinfect the dog house once every 15-20 days, and ensure that the dogs have sufficient activity time every day. Do not keep the puppies confined in cages for a long time, as this will slow their growth rate and more easily lead to disease. The water troughs must always be kept with sufficient clean water for the puppies to drink.

7. Preparing feed

Puppies can be fed 3 times a day. The food mainly includes cornmeal, complete feed, animal offal, etc. During this period, the animal offal should be cooked and then chopped before being fed to the puppies. An appropriate amount of bone meal, shell powder, feather powder, cicada pupa powder, bean dregs and other feed can also be added to the food.

8. Selling at market

Depending on the breed, the time for market release and sale will also differ. Generally, meat dogs can be released and sold after about 5 months of farming.
