The fox farms have formulated effective sanitation and epidemic prevention measures to reduce or eliminate the incidence of foxes, which is of great significance for improving the quality of fox fur and economic benefits. Therefore, in the daily feeding and management, the principle of prevention is more important than cure must be adhered to. Let's follow Xiu Chongjun to learn.

1. Epidemic prevention measures

1. Regular vaccination and prevention: Regular vaccination can enhance fox-specific immunity, which is an effective way to prevent epidemic diseases measure. Vaccinations should be carried out twice a year (when the seeds are kept in December, and 2 weeks after the litters are separated from the milk in July), such as canine distemper vaccine and viral enteritis vaccine.

2. Drug prevention: adding some drugs to the feed can effectively prevent the occurrence of certain diseases. For example, in the feed, feeding oxytetracycline 1 capsule per week can not only prevent feed rancidity, but also prevent the occurrence of intestinal diseases.

3. Cut off all routes of infection: When introducing foxes, please ask the veterinary department for quarantine. In order to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases, the newly introduced foxes must be isolated and raised for about half a month after arriving on the field.

4. Other animals such as dogs are strictly prohibited from entering the farm: other animals cannot be mixed with foxes in the same farm to prevent mutual infection.

5. Regular disinfection: Disinfection is one of the important measures to prevent or eliminate infectious diseases. Therefore, every month, the breeding farm should use 100 toxin or peracetic acid to spray the whole farm to prevent and disinfect the whole farm to control the occurrence of epidemic diseases.

2. Hygiene measures

1. Remove harmful substances in feed, fish and meat feed should be cleaned before processing Remove impurities, such as sediment, deteriorated fat, etc., and then fully rinse with water before further processing and use.

2. Drinking water should be clean and pollution-free: the water source should be strictly managed, and sewage and harmful substances should not flow into it. Drinking utensils should be rinsed and disinfected regularly to prevent mold growth.

3. Control the mildew of feed: Do not feed stale or spoiled feed. Practice has proved that foxes eat rotten and spoiled feed, and the light ones refuse to eat, lose their appetite, and contract diseases, and the severe ones cause death.

4. Hygiene of the cage: The feces under the cage should be removed in time every day, and the ground should be washed. During the fox calving period, the bedding in the wooden box should be replaced frequently. The bedding is used for cold protection and heat preservation, and must be soft, dry, free from pollution and mildew.

5. Feed hygiene: It is absolutely forbidden to purchase feed from epidemic areas. Many infectious diseases are caused by both domestic animals and foxes. If foxes eat meat feed made from sick domestic animals, epidemics will occur.

6. Hygiene of feeding utensils: Feeding utensils should be sterilized frequently, and 0.1% potassium permanganate solution should be used to wash buckets, water basins and processing utensils, etc. It can also be boiled and sterilized.
