Weasels are small carnivores, which mainly feed on rodents and occasionally eat other small mammals. Now some people have started artificial farming. Let's learn what weasels eat and how to raise them.
1. What food do ferrets eat?
Is the weasel's favorite food a mouse or an expert in catching mice? According to statistics, a weasel can kill three or four hundred mice a year. Once the mouse is bitten by it, it can be swallowed in a few bites. If you want to find a mouse nest, you can dig out the mouse hole and destroy the whole nest.
A weasel can get back 300 to 400 kilograms of grain from a mouse's mouth, based on the fact that each mouse eats 1 kg of grain every year. Therefore, the weasel is not a chicken thief, but a good friend of mankind.
Second, the breeding methods of weasels
1, compound feed weasel mixture is diversified, nutritious and palatable. Animal feed includes livestock, birds, rats, frogs, fish, birds, snakes, insects and so on. Grain feed includes corn flour, bran, bean cake, etc. Vegetable feed includes radish, cabbage, beet, etc. Fresh or dry, mineral feed includes salt, bone meal, etc.
2. The diet formula in non-breeding period is: fish, meat 30%, viscera 25%, grain 35%, vegetables 10%, salt 0.5g, bone meal 2g, yeast 2g and cod liver oil 0.5g.. ..
The culture cycle is fish, meat 40%, viscera 25%, milk 5%, grain 20%, vegetables 10%, salt 0.5g, bone meal 1.5g, yeast 2g, and cod liver oil1g.
The diet of adult ferrets over 90 days old is male ferrets 150 ~ 200g and female ferrets 130 ~ 180g, so it is better to have enough to eat.
Third, the economic value of weasels.
Weasels prey on rats in large quantities and are their natural enemies. It is estimated that a ferret can eat 1500 ~ 3200 mice a year. The weasel's fur can be processed into a fur coat, but its skin is worthless in summer, and it is very expensive only in the heavy snow and light snow season after winter.
China made a brush with its tail hair, which is called wolf hair. Leather and wool are the traditional export commodities of wild fur animals in China.
