The porcupine lives in the steep land, grass, bushes or dense forests of hills and mountains, and digs a hole to live. Day and night, especially around midnight. They often follow certain routes. When walking, the long thick thorns on the back collide with each other and make a "rustling" sound. When it encounters enemies, the spines of the whole body will stand up and make a "puffing sound" to show its intimidation. The porcupine eats roots, young leaves, bamboo shoots, wild fruits, as well as crops such as melons, vegetables, sweet potatoes and corn. It breeds once a year, giving birth to two to four pups per litter.

The porcupine is a special medicinal animal, belongs to the national third-grade protected animals, according to the relevant provisions of the state, can be systematically captured and artificially reared. Its spines, meat and stomach can be used as medicine. Porcupine meat contains protein, fat, minerals and other nutrients, meat taste sweet, with cold, laxative effect, the main treatment of bowel movement. Porcupine stomach has the effect of clearing away heat and dampness, treating jaundice, edema and foot fungus. The spines of the porcupine have the effect of promoting the flow of qi, the main treatment of heart qi pain.

Whether the porcupine can be artificially raised on a large scale, the following factors should be considered:

①There should be reliable and stable sales channels. Porcupine is mainly for food and medicinal use, with the relevant food or drug departments to establish a contact mechanism, enter into a supply and marketing contracts to ensure that the product sales without worry.

②There should be artificially domesticated fine porcupine varieties. Wild-caught porcupine generally can not be used as a commercial porcupine breeding breeding, after 2 to 3 generations of artificial domestication, in order to be used as a commercial species of porcupine breeding herd expansion.

③There should be enough feed resources. Porcupine is a kind of omnivorous animal with plant-based roughage, so we should have enough stems, leaves, roots and fruits of various plants, as well as a small amount of fodder crops or fodder.

④To build a nest room which is suitable for the free life of porcupine.

⑤Finally, it should be pointed out that the development of porcupine breeding, like other special breeding industry, absolutely do not hope to speculate on the seed, only based on expanding the scale of breeding, the implementation of value-added processing, and strive to create high-quality brand, in order to be invincible.

As long as it is not a crook, then the prospect is hit and miss!
