Mink is a semi-aquatic animal, which likes water and mostly moves in the near water zone. Because its fur has high economic value, it is widely planted. It used to be wild, but now it is cultivated artificially. Can minks be domesticated? What is the breeding prospect?

First of all, mink introduces:

Where do minks usually live?

Wild minks generally live by rivers or streams, and their growing environment has certain limitations. It is more suitable for breeding in areas with high latitude, abundant sunshine and distinct seasons, mainly distributed in Northeast China and Qinghai-Tibet region.

2. What do minks eat?

Minks are carnivores and can eat crayfish, crabs, fish, birds, insects, worms and small mammals. Artificial farming can generally feed some animal feed, plant feed and additive feed. Among them, animal feed mainly includes livestock meat, fish, eggs and insects, plant feed includes vegetables and grains, and additive feed generally refers to vitamins and bone meal.

Second, can minks be kept at home?

Minks had better not be domesticated. Because mink is very aggressive, if you keep it as a pet, you will be attacked by it, which will hurt people's minds. When breeding, try to raise it in a big pond and enclose it with a fence.

3. What is the future of mink culture?

1, the input cost of mink breeding is mainly in the construction of farms, the construction of mink cages, the purchase of mink breeding mink and human expenditure.

2. According to the price of mink in recent years, it costs about 60,000 yuan to raise 50 minks.

3. The average feeding cost of mink is about one day's budget in 0.6 yuan. Generally, it takes about 1 10 days for mink to molt, and the feed cost is also 66 yuan.

4. Other expenses, such as wages and disease prevention, should be planned in detail according to the farmers themselves.

Judging from the fur market in recent years, the demand of mink skin in the market has been higher than that of foxes and raccoons. It is understood that mink is the main raw material for making clothes, collars, hats, cuffs and ornaments, and its application range is wider. However, if 20 19 wants to make money by raising minks, it needs to improve mink quality and fur processing direction, control costs and expand the market, so as to ensure greater profits.

Generally speaking, minks had better not be kept at home to avoid being attacked. At the same time, according to the experience and analysis of farmers in recent years, the breeding prospect of mink is still optimistic, and the specific situation needs to be determined in combination with local investigations.
