Livestock Farming 0 views
Mineral feeds The mineral feeds used for foxes mainly include bone meal and salt, etc. Bone meal: it is the powder made from bones after boiling and drying, and is the main source of calcium and phosphorus. Bone meal contains 40% calcium and 20% phosphorus. Bone meal needs to be supplied year-round, especially during the breeding season, and is even more important for female foxes or growing foxes, so the supply should be appropriately increased. 10-15 grams per fox per day. If the diet can supply fresh crushed bones or feed based mainly on fish, bone meal may be omitted. Salt: it is essential for maintaining the normal physiological osmotic pressure of the body

Salt: it is essential for maintaining the normal physiological osmotic pressure of the body. The general supply is 2-3 grams per fox per day; if the diet uses mixed sea fish as the main feed, the salt can be reduced as appropriate or omitted.
