Self-biting syndrome is a common disease of captive fur-bearing animals such as foxes and minks. In recent years, it has occurred in many farms and households in China, causing great economic losses. There had been no specific prevention or treatment measures for this disease, and the key point was that the cause had not been identified. Regarding the cause, people had put forward many hypotheses or claims, but these had not truly served to guide prevention and treatment. Since the early 1990s, researchers have carried out some research work on the cause of the disease. In the course of research and experiments, the cause of self-biting syndrome was identified,

Self-biting syndrome is a common disease of captive fur-bearing animals such as foxes and minks. In recent years, it has occurred in many farms and households in China, causing great economic losses. There had been no specific prevention or treatment measures for this disease, and the key point was that the cause had not been identified. Regarding the cause, people had put forward many hypotheses or claims, but these had not truly served to guide prevention and treatment. Since the early 1990s, researchers have carried out some research work on the cause of the disease. In the course of research and experiments, the cause of self-biting syndrome was identified, and a specific drug effective in treating self-biting syndrome was invented - Huyaoling. The development of this drug has obtained a national @#@78@#@ (patent number: 95110361•X). From then on, the claim that self-biting syndrome was an incurable disease was eliminated, filling a gap in the history of animal disease treatment in China.

1. For farms and households with a high incidence of self-biting syndrome, especially those in coastal areas that use mixed marine fish as the main animal feed, reduce the proportion of mixed marine fish in the feed and appropriately add animal liver, such as chicken liver and rabbit liver, while also adding some trace elements, accounting for about 2.5% of the animal feed proportion. This can reduce the incidence of self-biting syndrome and has a good preventive effect against it.

2. The feed formula can use animal feed, eliminating the cumbersome operations of fresh-keeping transportation and processing, and can use a reasonably matched feed made from corn, bran, soybeans, peas, bone meal, fish meal, green vegetables, trace elements, etc. The incidence of self-biting disease will be greatly reduced.

3. Once a fox develops self-biting syndrome, the sick fox can be treated with "Huyaoling Capsules." For newly affected foxes, mix 0.5 grams of capsules per kilogram of body weight into the feed, and administer the medicine twice a day. Generally, symptoms lessen the same day, disappear in 3 days, and full recovery occurs after 14 consecutive days of administration. For sick foxes that have been affected for a longer time, after 14 days of administration, give the medicine for another 7 days and they will recover.
