1. Oral administration

1.1. Medication administration method

For drugs with good palatability and less toxicity, they can be mixed into the feed and let black guinea pigs eat by themselves. This method is widely used in group breeding. For the prevention or treatment of guinea pigs. For drugs with a little more toxicity, a small amount of test should be done before large-scale administration to ensure safety. If it is found that black guinea pigs have digestive tract infection and diarrhea in the guinea pig group, they can be put into The medicinal powder is mixed in the green material or the concentrate; It can also be sprayed on the green material with water. Oxytetracycline, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, etc. can be administered by this method.

1.2. Gastric tube administration method
