Is it easy to raise bamboo rats?

Easy to raise. According to the experience of Zhaobao Ecological Farm for 25 years, bamboo rat breeding has the characteristics of wide adaptability, grain saving, strong reproduction, fast growth, easy maintenance and management, and rich profits. It can not only vigorously develop rural areas, but also be suitable for family farming and factory farming of urban residents.

1, staple food straw

The feed of bamboo rat is mainly crop straw and plant roots, such as corn straw, sorghum straw, soybean straw, sugarcane root, reed and Miscanthus. Do not compete with people, livestock and poultry for food. Or compete with cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep eat the tender branches and leaves of plants, while bamboo rats only eat the old roots of plants. In order to ensure the nutrition needed for the growth and development of bamboo rats, it is necessary to feed some concentrated feed.

2, don't need sunshine and water

Bamboo rat likes to live in a dark, cool, dry and clean environment with the temperature of -8 ~ 35℃, and has the characteristics of taking water from feed instead of drinking water directly. Therefore, it can not only build nests and caves in remote rural areas, but also build nests and ponds indoors in cities, which is more suitable for farming in arid and water-deficient mountainous areas with abundant bamboo forests, corn and sorghum.

3. Easy to raise and manage

The feeding management of bamboo rats is relatively simple, and they can only be fed 1 time a day, or 1 time a day. The bamboo rat has less urine, dry feces and no peculiar smell. It can be cleaned 1 time in summer and 1 time in winter for 3 ~ 4 days. The workload of raising 1 pair of bamboo rats is 1 head pig110, and one labor force can raise 200 pairs of breeding rats.
