Macau Headline News: The giant panda "Happy Family" has always been loved by the majority of residents and lives healthily under the careful care of the breeding team of the Municipal Affairs Bureau. As "Healthy" and "Healthy" are about to enter the stage of adulthood, the breeding team regularly monitors their growth and development, and according to their needs, dietary adjustment, strengthening muscle exercise and focusing on mental health and other balanced physical and mental development.
Due to the abundant production of bamboo shoots in spring and summer, the breeding team adjusted the dietary menu of the "Happy Family" and added an appropriate amount of seasonal bamboo shoots according to the individual condition of the four giant pandas to match the feeding habits of the giant pandas in the wild. Papa Panda Kaikai currently weighs 115 kilograms and will be 13 years old in August, while Mom Xinxin, who weighs 113 kilograms, will be 14 years old in July. The twins "Jian Jian" and "Kang Kang", weighing 126 kg and 107 kg respectively, will turn 5 tomorrow (26th), and the Municipal Affairs Department will continue to make a cool and interesting ice cake for the brothers with fruits and seasonal bamboo, etc., to send blessings to a pair of giant pandas.
In terms of physical condition, the breeding team recently observed that the "heart" had reduced food, reduced movement and other conditions, and after comprehensive urine testing and physical sign observation, it was initially determined to be a false pregnancy. False pregnancy refers to the female giant panda without pregnancy but similar to the pregnancy behavior, signs and hormone levels and other changes, which is a normal manifestation of female pandas, and the general false pregnancy will last for about 14 to 28 days. Affected by the fake pregnancy, the "heart" has become sensitive to external sounds, so the breeding team recently arranged for it to rest and observe the animal house, and continuously monitored its condition closely.
At present, "Jian Jian" and "Kang Kang" are in the stage of sub-adulthood into adulthood, and in terms of feeding management strategies, the weight is suitable for steady increase. In order to avoid its rapid weight gain, the team has adjusted the diet of "Jianjian"; on the other hand, the addition of bamboo shoots to the menu will also help "Healthy" to grow its weight steadily. In addition to bamboo shoots, bamboo and health supplements are also used to supplement the appropriate trace elements, and the feeding team will adjust the diet to balance the absorption of nutrients and ensure that the nutrient supply meets their growth and development needs.
In addition to the daily diet, they will also pay attention to the muscle exercise of "health" and "health" and the balanced development of body and mind, such as exercising their lower limb muscle strength and limb coordination by placing food on a high place and setting up rich toys in the playground. In addition, the breeding team will also conduct regular physical examinations for "health" and "health" to monitor their growth, development and physical condition. "Healthy" and "Kangkang" over 5 years old, under captive conditions, male pandas generally begin to enter the sexual maturity stage at the age of 6 or 7, according to the opinion of giant panda experts, "healthy" and "Kangkang" genes are excellent, physical health, the future will help the population breeding and development of giant pandas, the breeding team will be timely for the giant panda to participate in the breeding of the preliminary preparations.
