Pet Mink has become the third largest pet under cats and dogs, and Pet Mink has great economic value, so breeders are also flocking to it, then we think How to increase the production of pet mink when raising? Let's take a look at it together.

1. Epidemic prevention before breeding:
The first is to prevent canine distemper, subcutaneously inject the attenuated canine distemper vaccine with mink, 1 ml each, and the immunization period is 6 months.
The second is to prevent viral enteritis, using mink virus enteritis tissue culture inactivated vaccine, inject 1 ml under the skin of each mink, the immunization period is 6 months, it is best to use one needle for each mink, Prevent injection infection.
2. Nutritional collocation before breeding:
During the winter solstice, the sunshine begins to increase, and the reproductive organs of mink begin to develop. The volume increases significantly and sperm begins to develop. The number of primordial follicles in the female mink's ovary increased, the follicles also increased significantly, and the uterus was enlarged and hypertrophic. Therefore, nutrition matching must keep up with physiological needs. In addition to ensuring animal protein and vegetable protein, vitamins, especially fat-soluble vitamins, such as VA and VE, can be added to the feed. VE tablets, carrot or peanut oil and VC tablets can be added to the feed. Promote the normal development of reproductive organs.
3. Seize the time of estrus:
1. The estrus period of male mink is from January to March. Interested in female minks. After more than 12 hours of sunshine after the vernal equinox, the testicles begin to shrink and degenerate.
2. Female mink can have 2-4 estrus cycles, and the cycle can be divided into 4 periods, namely prophase, estrus and estrus. Each cycle is about 6 days to 10 days, the duration is 1 day to 3 days, and the rest period is 5 days to 6 days. There are no mature follicles in the ovaries of female minks in estrus, and they do not accept mating, and they will not conceive after forced mating.
Therefore, be sure to observe the estrus period, and perform compounding or periodic compounding during the breeding season after mating to ensure a high conception rate.
Fourth, seize the breeding date:
The end of January, the end of February and the beginning of March are the peak breeding seasons for most minks, and the breeding date should be arranged according to the number of male minks .
2. Most female minks should be bred at first, that is, in the first estrus period. The peak period from breeding to breeding is about 5 to 7 days. At the same time, young male minks are trained to participate in breeding, and semen quality identification is carried out to select breeding minks with good quality.
3. About 10 days to 12 days in the breeding season, the female mink should be compounded once, and the breeding period will be ended.
4. Complementary mating is adopted for the first mating and non-pregnant mink. The supplementary mating stage is about 5 days after the end of the breeding season. For female minks who are still in estrus and suspected of not being pregnant and false mating, they can be re-bred during this period, and the method of continuous re-bringing can be adopted, that is, re-bringing is performed every other day after the first time. Each female mink is impregnated and has a high litter rate.
