What kind of feed is better for raising foxes on a farm?

(1) The larynx, esophagus and trachea can be used to feed foxes, accounting for 25% of animal-based feed. During the breeding season, the glands should be removed before use.

(2) Animal blood is rich in minerals and fat and relatively high in protein, but it has a mild laxative effect. Blood used to feed foxes can account for 10% of animal-based feed. Fresh blood can be fed raw directly, while stale blood should be fed cooked.

(3) Fish heads and fish skeletons are by-products from aquatic product processing plants and can be used to feed foxes, with the amount accounting for 30% of animal-based feed.

(4) The heads and legs of cattle and sheep have relatively poor nutritional value and consist mainly of bone. In the daily ration, the amount can account for 20% of animal-based feed, and they should be used together with complete feeds such as fresh fish or fish meal.

(5) Aquatic products such as freshwater mussels and river shrimp can also be used to feed foxes, with the amount accounting for 20% of animal-based feed. River shrimp should be fed cooked because they contain thiaminase, and mussels should be washed clean with warm water and minced before feeding because they contain collagen protein, which is difficult to digest.

(6) Dried fish used to feed foxes can account for 70% of animal-based feed and should be soaked in water before use. Dried fish with a high salt content should also have the water changed 2-3 times to remove excess salt and prevent salt poisoning.

(7) Liver residue is relatively high in protein, generally above 60%. Because it is not easy to digest and absorb, the amount used accounts for 25% of animal-based feed.

(8) Blood meal can be used to feed foxes, with the amount accounting for 20%-25% of animal-based feed. Excessive amounts can easily cause indigestion or diarrhea.

(9) Silkworm pupae and silkworm pupa meal can both be used to feed foxes, with the amount accounting for 20%-30% of animal-based feed. Use a little less during the breeding season, and a little more during the growing period and the winter fur growth period.

(10) Feather meal contains as much as about 80% protein, but because it is mainly keratin protein, it is not easy to digest. It is generally used in fox farming as a feed additive component, accounting for 1%-2% of animal-based feed.
