How to mix feed for raccoon dogs? Teaching you the correct method

The feed for raccoon dogs includes animal feed, plant feed, and supplemental feed. The supply and composition of feed have a great impact on the health, reproduction, and fur quality of raccoon dogs. To practice scientific @#@252@#@, one must understand the effects of feed nutrients on raccoon dogs, so as to reasonably and correctly formulate and process feed, and achieve the best economic benefits with the least feed consumption. Therefore, the processing and mixing of feed is very important.

After the above processing, the feed must be strictly weighed and then minced and mixed. Small raccoon dog farms can mince several kinds of feed together; large raccoon dog farms can first mince fish, meat feed, and livestock and poultry by-products, then mince grain products and vegetables and other feed, and finally add water, vitamins, or inorganic salt feed, stir evenly, and then feed.

During the feed processing and mixing process, attention should be paid to the following:

(1) Strictly mix according to the feed types and quantities specified in the feed list, and do not change them at will.

(2) The mixing speed should be fast, and the processing time should be shortened as much as possible. Each mixing should be completed just before feeding, and must not be done in advance, so as to avoid nutrient loss caused by too long a time.

(3) The ingredients should be accurate, the mixing should be even, and the concentration should be moderate. During the breeding period, the concentration should be thinner; during the non-breeding period, it should be thicker.

(4) Feed such as vitamins, dairy products, and yeast must be added just before feeding, and must be stirred evenly, to prevent early mixing into the feed from oxidative damage or uneven intake causing adverse consequences.

(5) Feed with relatively large differences in cold and heat, or raw and cooked temperature, should be placed separately during storage, and mixed together only when the temperatures are close.

(6) After thawing, feed should not be stored in the mixing room for more than 24 hours, to prevent the feed from spoiling due to too long a time.

(7) Feed and water must be hygienic. Do not use moldy or spoiled feed, and the water must be clean and hygienic.

(8) The feed mixing room must be kept clean and hygienic. Equipment and tools used for processing feed must be cleaned promptly, and regularly disinfected with potassium permanganate or alkaline water.
