What are the construction methods for yellow guinea pig breeding sites?
The edible yellow guinea pig is a new type of specialty breed. Its fur is golden all over, its meat is tender and delicious, and it has a delicate fragrance when eaten. Its meat is sweet in flavor and neutral in nature, nourishes the kidney and supplements yin, strengthens the spleen and warms the liver, brightens the eyes and invigorates the blood. It is an ideal natural food for the elderly, pregnant women, and children to nourish and strengthen the body. The yellow guinea pig has high breeding value, and building a good guinea pig house to provide the yellow guinea pig with an ideal environment and living conditions is also the foundation for successful yellow guinea pig breeding.
Selection of a yellow guinea pig breeding site
The guinea pig house should be built on high ground. The best location for building a guinea pig house is a dry, flat place with good drainage and plenty of sunlight. When building a site in mountainous areas, avoid wind gaps, slopes, and similar locations. The yellow guinea pig breeding site should be kept at a certain distance from the poultry houses and livestock sheds of other animals as much as possible. In addition, it should be far from railways and highways to avoid noise and ensure that the environment is not polluted.
Construction of a yellow guinea pig breeding site
There are many ways to raise yellow guinea pigs. They can be kept in cages, raised freely, or raised in pools, but the simplest and easiest method to manage is pool raising. This method is very suitable for rural breeders with spacious housing, as it can make full use of idle rooms and can also use local materials, such as bricks, cement, wooden boards, stones, and asbestos tiles, to build breeding pools. If asbestos tiles are used, it is even simpler: just split the asbestos tile in two and tie it with wire. The size of the yellow guinea pig breeding pool can be flexibly adjusted according to the scale and number of animals being raised. Regardless of the size of the breeding pool, breeding guinea pigs, weaned young guinea pigs, and commercial guinea pigs must be raised separately. This can both improve the quality of the yellow guinea pig population and make management easier. When raising them in large groups, the specification of the breeding pool for breeding guinea pigs and weaned young guinea pigs is 100 cm long, 60 cm wide, and 40 cm high.
Raising density of yellow guinea pigs
Breeding guinea pigs are raised at 10-15 per sq m, and young guinea pigs at 15-20 per sq m. The specification of the breeding pool for commercial guinea pigs is 200 cm long, 100 cm wide, and 40 cm high, and the raising density is 10-15 per sq m. For flat-surface raising, a cement floor is the most ideal. A cement floor makes it easier to clean manure, is both clean and hygienic, and effectively reduces the breeding of bacteria.
