A few days ago, Hubei Province passed a comprehensive ban on the consumption of all terrestrial wild animals, including artificially bred and artificially raised. Can bamboo rats still be farmed in the future? How to raise it?

1. Can bamboo rats still be farmed after eating wild animals?

At present, it is not certain whether bamboo rats can be cultured in the future. Moreover, some provinces, such as Hunan and Guangdong, began to have forestry bureaus take the initiative to visit legal breeding farms to issue relevant early warning instructions to prepare farmers mentally and discuss subsidies for harmless treatment. However, in the end, No decision has been made to implement it.

2. How to raise bamboo rats?

1. Pens

The breeding ground for bamboo rats is relatively simple. You can choose to breed them in an empty room or cellar, or you can build a simple pen by yourself. There is not much space for bamboo rats to move around. About 1 square meter can breed five pairs of bamboo rats.

2. Breeding rats

Choose breeding rats that are strong, disease-free, and have bright hair. The male rats are required to be well developed, have prominent testes, and have a strong sexual desire; the female rats are required to give birth to litters. High yield and strong feeding capacity.

3.

Newly born bamboo rat pups are extremely delicate, so measures should be taken to keep them warm to avoid catching cold. After the pups open their eyes, they can be artificially breastfed, and feed them with fresh and easily digestible feed. Eat slowly.

4. Feed

Bamboo rats are tolerant of coarse food and have strong digestion ability of plant foods, such as miscanthus, bamboo, corn stalks, sugar cane, etc. Adult bamboo rats are fed twice a day.

5. Daily management

The breeding environment of bamboo rats is not large, so the pens must be disinfected and disinfected regularly to avoid bacterial infection, and excrement should be cleaned up in time to ensure that the pens are hygienic and clean. The feed should be fresh and diverse, and rotten food should not be fed. The feed should not be stained with water, otherwise it will easily cause diarrhea. Bamboo rats are timid and easily frightened. Reducing fright will help them grow.

3. What are the prospects for artificial bamboo rat breeding in the future?

In any case, after the epidemic, revision of wildlife-related laws is imperative. The Legal Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has stated that the revision of the "Wildlife Protection Law" will be included in this year's legislative work plan, and plans to speed up the revision process of the "Animal Epidemic Prevention Law" and other laws.

If the bamboo rat breeding industry can continue to exist, all links in the bamboo rat industry chain need to be reorganized and comprehensively regulated. Practitioners must find ways to win back the confidence of consumers, and it is also necessary to take preventive measures to avoid recurrence. Trapped in a predicament similar to this year. The optimistic scenario is that after this epidemic, bamboo rats will be included in the scope of animal quarantine and relevant quarantine regulations will be promulgated. Furthermore, each bamboo rat will have an identification mark, which can trace the origin, transportation, trading, sales and other aspects.

Although there is currently no "one-size-fits-all" rule that bamboo rats cannot be bred artificially, it will have a certain impact on the bamboo rat breeding industry in the future. However, the optimistic scenario is that after this epidemic, bamboo rats will be included in the scope of animal quarantine and relevant quarantine regulations will be promulgated. Furthermore, each bamboo rat will have an identification mark, which can trace the origin, transportation, trading, sales and other aspects.
