What are the requirements for raising sika deer?

First of all, we should have a preliminary understanding of deer. At present, we mainly raise sika deer and red deer, and all sika deer are sika deer in Northeast Asia. Due to geographical isolation, different types of groups are formed, such as Shuangyang, Dongfeng, Yitong, Longtan Mountain, Fusong and Xingkai Lake. These types of deer can also be regarded as strains or original breeds. On this basis, through artificial cultivation, the sika deer breeds such as Shuangyang, Xifeng, Xiping and Dunhua were bred.

There are 8 subspecies of red deer in China. Northeast wapiti, Tianshan wapiti, Altay wapiti and Tarim wapiti are the most popular breeds, while Tianshan wapiti and Altay wapiti are more productive. Tianshan wapiti was introduced to the northeast, and then artificially cultivated into Qingyuan strain of Tianshan wapiti, and the effect of improving Northeast wapiti with it was better.

The characteristics of artificially bred sika deer and red deer are high productivity, stable heredity and high breeding value. However, because the characteristics of artificially cultured sika deer are not obvious enough, it is not as easy to distinguish them as horses, cows and pigs, and the phenomenon of confusing fish with pearls is very serious. Therefore, when buying deer, you should have a preliminary understanding of deer by reading books and consulting experts. Understand the biological characteristics, production capacity, basic feeding conditions, input-output ratio, etc. So as to know fairly well and avoid blindness and randomness.

Second, we should make an investigation. That is, visit several deer farms to understand the species, sources, production capacity, diseases, market conditions and profit and loss of deer. At the same time, you can also learn from the experience of deer breeding and management. You can visit Dalu Farm and Lu Xiao Farm. They have different models and can get all kinds of inspiration. Of course, you can also consult experts and experienced people, so as to buy satisfactory deer.

Third, buying stag depends on velvet. Deer' main products and economic income are velvet antler, so it is necessary to buy high-yield breeder deer. However, it is difficult to determine the cashmere yield of male deer without antler, and the error of the most experienced experts is probably 50%. Therefore, to buy a male deer, it depends on the antlers, and buy deer in June-July to ensure the quality. As a male deer, it needs high yield besides good appearance. That is to say, the three-year-old sika deer (2 saws) produces no less than1.250g, the four-year-old sika deer produces no less than1.500g, and the five-year-old red deer produces no less than 8,000g. Below this standard, you are not qualified to raise deer. At present, the hourly price of sika deer breeding male deer is generally 654.38+00000-25000 yuan/deer, female deer is 45000-55000 yuan/deer, red deer breeding male deer is 30000-50000 yuan/deer, and there are also 80000 yuan and 654.38+00000 yuan/deer.

Fourth, what kind of deer is a good deer. A good deer can be considered as having the following conditions: (1) good appearance; (2) Good health and no disease; (3) the coat color is bright; (4) high production capacity; 5] The age shall not exceed 5 years, mainly considering the serviceable life of deer. Generally, the life span of sika deer is 10 years, while that of red deer is nearly 20 years, and the life span of buying young deer is longer.

5. How to buy deer? (1) Don't buy cheap deer. As the saying goes, "a penny is worth a penny, and a penny is definitely good." The quality of cheap deer is not high, the cashmere yield of male deer is low, the calf yield of female deer is low, and there are even old, weak and sick deer; (2) Please be an insider of the staff officer; (3) Be very careful when buying deer from profiteers. Because the purpose of "profiteering" is "profit", you can do whatever it takes to make a profit.

Sixth, transport deer safely. Don't forget three certificates when transporting deer: transportation certificate (issued by the field management office of the forestry department), quarantine certificate and disinfection certificate (issued by the local veterinary health department). It is best to transport deer with a special deer transport vehicle: the cage is firm, dark, ventilated, non-slip and high in safety factor. You don't need to drink water to feed for less than 24 hours. You should prepare enough feed for more than 24 hours, and feed the deer with water when people eat it. After unloading, you can drink light salt water, and the feed should be the same as the original field as far as possible. There is a transition period of 2-3 days from less to more refined.

Sika deer is a treasure, so it has high breeding value. However, how to breed sika deer is not easy, and the following prerequisites are required:

1. site: the site of deer farm should be sandy or stony soil site, with dry terrain and inclined 5 degrees to the south or southeast. The mountainous area should be chosen in a place that is not threatened by mountains and rivers, sheltered from the wind, with good wind direction and good drainage.

2. Feed: This is the main condition for field selection. It is best to choose a place with lush grass all year round, good environmental protection, less pollution and low noise.

The sika deer in full captivity needs an average of 350kg ~ 400kg of concentrated feed and roughage 1750kg ~ 2000kg per year (the requirement of red deer is 2 ~3 times that of sika deer).

Sika deer is a ruminant, its food intake is lower than that of cattle and sheep, and its resistance to roughage is stronger. Straw, by-products, litter and wormwood of all crops are good feed for deer.

Because the physiological characteristics of sika deer belong to wild habits, the feed conversion rate is very high, so green feed can meet the requirements of mountainous areas, semi-mountainous areas and pastoral areas, and no concentrate can be given all the year round, which can save feed costs by 30% ~ 40% compared with general cold areas.

Proportion of concentrated feed: concentrated feed mainly consists of corn, soybean bran, calf feed, salt, additives and ingredients in a certain proportion.
