Detailed Explanation of Meat Dog Breeding Technology and Management Methods
Meat dog breeding is a special kind of farming project in China. Although China has many pet dogs, meat dog breeding has emerged in response to market demand and development. China now has dedicated meat dog breeding bases, which have greatly reduced the phenomenon of dog thieves stealing dogs in China. So how exactly should meat dogs be raised? Today, the editor brings you the meat dog breeding technology. Let's take a look below!
1. Choosing the Site
The dog house is the key to ensuring the healthy growth of meat dogs, and it is also the first task that needs to be done well in meat dog breeding. The dog house should be chosen in a place that is sheltered from the wind, with plenty of sunlight and strong ventilation. Then enclose the dog house well, set up shade shelters, and plan the exercise yard, etc. A manure and urine pit should also be built at the dog house. It is best to plant some flowers, grass, and trees around the dog house to provide a good growing environment for the meat dogs. The dog house should also be equipped with temperature control equipment. And it is necessary to ensure that each meat dog has sufficient space, providing each dog with a separate water trough and feed trough.
2. Selecting Breeding Dogs
Breeding dogs have different requirements for males and females. The requirements for male breeding dogs are relatively strict, because the quality of the male breeding dog has a great relationship with the quality of the offspring. The male breeding dog must have a uniform body shape, dense fur, a good mental appearance, and no diseases. The most important thing is to ensure that the male dog's reproductive organs are normal. Then the female breeding dog should be chosen from dogs around two years old, with requirements similar to those for male dogs. But choose ones with many teats and good development, and do not choose dogs with a bad temper, to prevent them from harming the puppies. Then let them mate, ensuring that the puppies inherit the excellent traits of the male and female dogs, and cultivate high-quality meat dogs.
3. Feeding Management
When feeding meat dogs, we should follow the principle of fixed timing and fixed quantity, fixing the feeding time and amount each day. This can effectively improve the appetite of meat dogs and enhance their digestive ability. Also, when feeding, pay attention to disinfecting the water and feed troughs to ensure they are clean enough. And the feed must be kept fresh; do not feed moldy or spoiled feed, to prevent adverse phenomena such as poisoning or gastrointestinal diseases in meat dogs. When the meat dogs are eating, pay attention to observing their eating situation. If you find that the amount eaten has decreased, investigate the situation and take corresponding measures.
4. Daily Management
During the breeding process, we should regularly disinfect the dog house to ensure it is clean and hygienic enough. Then we also need to do a good job in preventing and controlling mosquitoes, flies, and rats to avoid them carrying pathogens and spreading them. And we should train the meat dogs well to defecate at fixed spots, which can not only keep the dog house hygienic but also facilitate breeding management. The dog house should be cleaned once a day at fixed times, and ventilation should be done well. Then the meat dogs should be regularly disinfected and dewormed to prevent diseases from affecting their growth. Improve the disease resistance of meat dogs and protect your own breeding benefits.
Finally, we should control the number of feedings according to the age in days of the meat dogs. At one month, feed about 6 times a day, and then for each additional month, reduce the number of feedings by one per day. Until the meat dogs reach adulthood at around one year, feeding twice a day is enough. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
