The introduction of meat donkeys is the most important task in the process of raising donkeys, which determines the success or failure of donkey breeding. Today Xiaobian will introduce to you, what problems do you need to pay attention to when introducing meat donkeys?
First, the choice of varieties
Donkeys grow slower, while some "knotty" donkeys such as Xinjiang donkeys and Yunnan donkeys grow more slowly. In captivity, donkey farmers need to choose fast-growing meat donkey breeds as much as possible, such as Texas donkeys, Guanzhong donkeys and hybrid improved meat donkeys.
At present, the quality of donkey breeds in Chaoyang and Jinzhou in Liaoning is the best, the quality of donkey varieties in Inner Mongolia is slightly second, and the donkey varieties in Xinjiang, Yunnan and other regions are poor and individuals are small. As for the Shandong region, which belongs to the birthplace of the Texas donkey breed, and is also the concentration of ejiao enterprises, although the quality of donkey varieties is better, but the number is small, at this stage, it is still necessary to introduce a large number of meat donkeys from other places.
Second, anti-deception
Due to the slow breeding of donkeys, there is no large-scale donkey farm to sell donkey foals to the outside world. Donkey farmers generally need to buy donkey foals through livestock trading markets, which is inseparable from donkey dealers and intermediaries. In order to make more money, many donkey dealers and intermediaries often use shoddy charging, small charging, secretly adding money, and secretly changing donkeys.
When you go out to buy donkeys, don't trust the words of donkey dealers or intermediaries, you need to know what you know. Have a certain understanding of the donkey breed and quality, donkey weight and price, and do not trade if you feel that it is not possible. If you don't know how to do it, you should lead a knowledgeable and reliable person to help choose.
3. Stress response
Donkeys are transported over long distances, and the environment changes greatly, and they are extremely prone to various stress responses. First, weaned and healthy donkey foals should be selected; second, stop feeding 6 hours before transportation, and drink some point-solving multidimensional water; third, lay a layer of mat grass in the carriage, and load the car should not be too crowded; fourth, when it is cold or windy, the transport vehicle should be surrounded by canvas to prevent colds or "wind choking lungs"; fifth, try to choose the fastest and smoothest transportation route.
Fourth, the breeding transition
When the donkey arrives, don't rush to drink or feed it, let it familiarize itself with the environment first. Give a small amount of light salt water when you arrive at the scene for 2 hours, it is best to drink water head by head, so as to avoid uneven drinking water caused by individual donkeys drinking too much water and causing "water poisoning". When I arrived at the scene for 6 hours, I gave a small amount of drinking water again, and at the same time gave some high-quality forage. It is best to mix the hay with water and then feed it to avoid the donkey from suddenly eating a large amount of more hay and drinking water, causing acute gastric dilation. Add some drinking water and some quality forage after 12 hours of presence. From the second day of arrival, adequate drinking water, sufficient amount of hay, and a small amount of refined feed are given. Gradually increase the amount of refined feed every day until the normal feeding rate is reached in 10 to 15 days.
As long as you do a good job in the introduction of meat donkeys, raising donkeys will be half successful!
