--------------------------------------
1. Construction of dog pens. Houses with sunlight exposure and good ventilation can be used for raising them. Generally, a length of 12 m, a width of 10 m, and a height of 2.5-3 m are suitable. Spread a layer of sand and gravel on the indoor floor, level the side corners with wooden blocks for lying down and sleeping, and make a door from wire mesh for entry and exit.
--------------------------------------
2. Feeding of meat dogs. Puppies can be weaned and raised in pens at 50 days, fed 3-4 meals a day, each meal to about 70-80% full, and once sexual desire appears, male and female dogs should be separated in time for raising. Three-month-old meat dogs are fed mixed feed, which promotes fattening and fast marketing. The formula is: rice and corn 35% each, wheat bran and soybean powder 10% each, salt and green feed 1% each, bone meal 2%, fish meal 6%. The feed should preferably be made into thin porridge, or mixed evenly and steamed into cakes to feed the dogs. In addition, meat and vitamins can usually be added and made into soup to feed separately.
--------------------------------------
3. Feeding of female dogs. Female dogs are mostly in estrus in spring and autumn, and strong, tall, healthy male dogs should be selected to mate with female dogs in time; female dogs can give birth after 60 days of pregnancy. During pregnancy, feed more high-quality feed, such as fish soup, bone soup, etc., and reduce the amount fed appropriately before giving birth. Most female dogs produce 2 litters per year, with 2-8 pups per litter. When giving birth, the whelping nest should be clean. During lactation, add brown sugar or glucose powder to the feed and feed 3 meals a day.
--------------------------------------
4. Disease prevention and treatment. (1) Rabies: when intensively raised meat dogs are weaned, inject 836 rabies vaccine, 1 ml per dog, by intramuscular injection into the inner thigh, then inject again after 30 days; the immunity period is 6-8 months. (2) Dysentery: if meat dogs have loss of appetite, anal swelling, and diarrhea, oxytetracycline and dry yeast can be crushed and mixed into thin porridge to feed the dogs, twice a day for 2-3 consecutive days. (3) Canine distemper: the symptoms are vomiting, elevated body temperature, pasty mucus at the corners of the eyes, lying prone and loss of appetite. Gentamicin 80,000 units and 40% urotropine 5 ml can be injected intramuscularly daily. Or add tetracycline and sulfadiazine tablets, generally fed twice a day for 3-5 consecutive days, and appetite can be restored.
