First, the structure of the cage
Dogs should be kept in kennels. Generally, there are three dogs in a kennel. Dog cages are generally made of galvanized iron wire. The cage bottom is made of 12 or 14 iron wire, and the mesh of cage eyes is 4cm× 4cm. The construction of a kennel should be built in a place with convenient water, electricity and transportation, far away from residential areas, sunny nest wind and good drainage. The construction scope and equipment should be determined according to the scale of aquaculture. Large dog farms must have shed rooms, cage rooms, feed processing rooms, cold storage, dry feed warehouses, veterinary rooms, technical rooms and preliminary leather processing rooms. However, a kennel or yard only needs a cage and a small room. The kennel is used for sun protection and rain protection, which can be made from local materials according to local conditions. Conditional kennels can use triangle iron, cement piers and asbestos tiles, which are expensive but durable. Cages should be conducive to cleanliness and the management of dogs and breeders should be convenient. The kennel should be kept clean and dry, cleaned frequently and disinfected regularly. Keep dogs clean during the hair changing season from March to May and from September to September165438+1October every year.
In order to ensure the safe and quiet environment of the kennel, a fence with a height of 2.5-3m should be built around the kennel, a lime pool for disinfection should be set at the gate, and the surrounding and yard should be afforested to beautify the environment.
Second, feeding management
1, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene
The kennel must be cleaned every day and the feces must be removed at any time. Must be cleaned and disinfected once a month, and thoroughly disinfected twice a year in the spring and autumn rainy season. For sick dogs, thoroughly remove bedding, burn it centrally or bury it deeply. When the weather is warm, open the doors and windows of the kennel and ventilate in the sun.
2. Maintain proper temperature and humidity.
The standard temperature in the kennel is 13 ~ 15℃ in winter and 15 ~ 17℃ in summer. If the ambient temperature is too low, it will consume too much energy, affect the growth and development, and it is easy to freeze puppies to death. If the temperature is too high, the dog's appetite will decrease, its growth will be slow, and even it will cause heatstroke. In view of the characteristics that adult dogs are not cold-resistant, puppies are mainly kept warm, and adult dogs are mainly used for heatstroke prevention and cooling. Pay attention to keep the air circulating, avoid direct sunlight, and carry out mechanical forced ventilation when necessary. The humidity of the kennel should be kept at 50-60%. The humidity is too high, it is easy to get heatstroke in summer, and winter is conducive to bacterial reproduction and colds. The humidity is too low, and the dust in the kennel increases, which is harmful to the respiratory tract.
3. Tableware should be disinfected regularly.
It can be boiled, soaked in 0. 1% bromogeramine for 20 minutes, or soaked in 2 ~ 4% caustic soda water, and finally rinsed with clean water. After each meal, the tableware should be cleaned and the remaining food should be thrown away.
4. Train the dog to urinate in a fixed place, keep the kennel clean and sanitary, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
5. Wash and trim your toenails frequently.
Brushing the dog's body is beneficial to the dog's health, promoting blood circulation of the skin and preventing parasites on the body surface. Trimming toenails can prevent scratching the skin and causing local infection. Adult dogs should be pruned once a month, and nursing puppies should be pruned frequently.
Step 6 Exercise properly
Proper exercise can promote metabolism, increase appetite, strengthen physique, improve male dog's sexual desire and sperm vitality, promote the blood circulation of pregnant bitch's fetus, and ensure the health of mother and fetus. For fattening dogs, we should reduce exercise, promote growth and speed up slaughter.
Third, feeding technology.
1, timing and quantization
Regular feeding can strengthen gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal peristalsis, and increase food intake. Under normal circumstances, feed it once every morning and evening to prevent satiety or overeating, and ensure normal gastric juice secretion and normal intestinal peristalsis.
Step 2 put tableware and tableware
Dogs are characterized by simple chewing and swallowing, and love to catch food, which is easy to cause indigestion. Therefore, every dog should fix the food basin, don't change it, feed it less, and form the habit of leaving no food. Dogs have the habit of sleeping and eating in a fixed place. Some dogs often refuse to eat or lose their appetite after changing feeding places, so the feeding places should be relatively fixed.
Pay attention to hygiene. Tableware should be disinfected regularly, and feed should be made now, preferably overnight. It is forbidden to feed spoiled and moldy food to prevent food poisoning and other diseases.
3. Observe the eating situation.
There are many reasons that affect the dog's appetite. There are three main reasons:' This is the feed list-',which is stale, stinks, and the food is too salty or too sweet. Second, the feeding place is not suitable. The third is the disease factor. Pay attention to their food intake when feeding dogs. If they are anorexic or have more surplus, we should know the situation and take measures.
4. Feeding time
Generally, adult dogs are fed twice a day, three times a day within 1 year, four times a day within 3 months, five times a day for 2 months, and six times a day for 1 month. Pregnant dogs, nursing dogs and sick dogs should master it as appropriate.
