Detailed Explanation of Musk Deer Farming Methods and Technical Key Points
The musk deer is a first-class protected animal in China, but its value is extremely high. You must have heard of musk, right? As a traditional Chinese medicinal material, musk has very important medicinal uses. Although the musk deer is a protected animal, in order to promote the development of musk, you can report to the local forestry department before farming, and after obtaining permission, artificial farming is still allowed. So how should we carry out artificial farming? Let's take a look together below!
1. Farming Site
Musk deer farming can be divided into several different farming methods, but no matter which farming method is used, the farm must be established in a place with high altitude and sparse human habitation. Because the musk deer is very timid, it is necessary to ensure that the musk deer's living environment is kept under very quiet conditions. There needs to be sufficient water around, and unpolluted mountain spring water is best. Determine the appropriate farming area according to the number of animals being farmed. It should be noted that certain protective measures must be taken on the fence to prevent the musk deer from being injured by hitting the fence while chasing and playing.
2. Feed Selection
The feed for musk deer needs to be carefully selected. First, establishing the breeding shed on hillside land with abundant green grass can effectively provide natural green grass feed for the musk deer. Put in feed appropriately according to the musk deer's eating preferences, and prepare feed storage before winter arrives to prevent a shortage of green grass feed in winter. Common tree leaves or tuber vegetables can be used. While providing green grass feed, attention must also be paid to mixing it with concentrated feed. For concentrated feed, powdered feed such as cornmeal can be used, and the feed should be appropriately adjusted according to the musk deer's growth process and stage.
3. Feed Feeding
Different feed ingredients should be matched according to the musk deer's age stage, because the musk deer has different nutritional needs at each growth stage. Therefore, during the farming process, we must adjust in a timely manner to ensure the normal growth of the musk deer. Usually, feed should be given at least three times a day, once each in the morning, noon, and evening. The feed composition each time must not be the same, but it must be given at fixed times and in fixed amounts to develop good eating habits in the musk deer. Drinking water for the musk deer is also very important. The quality of the water, drinking time, and drinking volume are all directly related to the growth of the musk deer.
4. Disease Prevention and Control
Disease prevention and control is one of the most important issues in the farming process. Without reasonable management, musk deer are extremely prone to diseases such as colds and enteritis. Therefore, we must do a good job in prevention work. Do not feed feed that has already become moldy or spoiled, and do not continuously feed the same kind of feed, especially corn, otherwise it can easily cause diarrhea in musk deer. Formulate a reasonable inspection plan and observe the musk deer's growth, eating, and activity conditions. In addition, when keepers enter the musk deer shed, they must disinfect themselves to prevent carrying pathogens.
The above is a brief introduction to musk deer farming methods. Farming musk deer requires permission, and farming them privately is illegal, so everyone must not test the law! It should also be noted that the musk deer is very timid and must absolutely not be startled. At best, this will affect the musk deer's reproduction, and at worst it may lead to death. That is all for today's introduction. Thank you for reading and supporting us. If you want to learn more related information, please continue to follow us.
