All information on bamboo rat breeding, how to breed bamboo rats

Bamboo rat breeding has the characteristics of wide adaptability, grain saving, strong fecundity, fast growth, easy maintenance and management, and high profits. Not only can the rural areas be vigorously developed, but also suitable for urban residents to breed at home and factory scale.

1 Staple food straw.

The feed of bamboo rats is mainly crop straw and plant roots, such as corn stalks, sorghum stalks, soybean stalks, sugarcane roots, reeds, miscanthus grass, etc. Do not compete with people, animals, and poultry for food. They also do not compete with cattle and sheep, who eat the young branches and leaves of plants, while bamboo rats only eat the old rhizomes of plants.

In order to ensure the nutrition required for the growth and development of bamboo rats, some concentrate feed needs to be fed.

2 No sunlight or water required.

Bamboo rats prefer to live in a dark, cool, dry, clean, temperature-8 35 environment, and have the characteristic of ingesting water from feed without drinking water directly. Therefore, it can not only build nests and caves on the slopes and caves of remote rural areas, but also build nests and ponds in towns and towns and basements to carry out factory three-dimensional farming, and it is more suitable for breeding in arid and water-scarce mountainous areas rich in bamboo forests, corn and sorghum.

3. Easy to maintain and manage.

Bamboo rats are simple to feed and manage, only once a day, or once every 3 days. Bamboo rat urine is less dry and odorless, and it can be cleaned once in summer and once in 3 or 4 days in winter. The workload of raising 1 pair of bamboo rats is 1 10 of raising 1 pig, and one labor force can raise 200 pairs of breeding rats.

4. Strong fecundity.

One female bamboo rat breeds 20 30 piglets a year, and 120 160 piglets are reproduced annually under good feeding conditions, which is much higher than the reproductive multiple of pigs, cattle and sheep, and its production level is incomparable with other breeds.

5 The benefits are considerable. Young rats can weigh more than 1 kg after 3 months of rearing. The current market purchase price of commercial bamboo rats is 50 60 yuan per kilogram, and the annual income of 1 pair of bamboo rats is generally raised1

000 yuan or more. A farmer uses half an acre of pig barn to convert into a rat pond and raise 6 10 pairs of bamboo rats in captivity, which can be lifted out of poverty in one year. Laid-off workers and urban residents use idle houses to practice three-dimensional cage breeding or enclosure pond breeding 4 6 pairs of bamboo rats, and their income is also quite considerable.

It can be seen that bamboo rat breeding is a new type of aquaculture industry with high development value, large market demand, high yield, high efficiency, low consumption, grain saving and low risk, which is worthy of development.

1. Requirements for living environment: bamboo rats like to be quiet and clean, and the environment is required to be relatively dry. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the fresh and well-circulated air.

2. Temperature requirements: bamboo rats like warmth, and the most suitable temperature for the growth and reproduction of bamboo rats should be kept between 8-28.

3. Light requirements: bamboo rats like weak light environments, and should avoid strong direct light to avoid their restless running.

4. Diet of rats: rats are young and tender, and can be used for artificial breastfeeding with needleless syringes. Slowly add paste-like feed, as well as tender and easily digestible bamboo branches, grass stems, etc.

5. Cage feeding of rats: When raising rats, they should be fed according to the weight of the rats and the strength of the physique of the rats.

6. Diversity of feed: Adult rats need to be fed fresh, digestible and nutritious feed. Such as carrots, bamboo shoots, corn, wheat bran, etc. At the same time, fishmeal, bone meal, salt, vitamins, etc. should be added appropriately. It can be fed twice daily.
