Laboratory animals have always occupied a pivotal position in the field of scientific research. Among them, the Beagle is famous for its small size, short, hard and thick coat, uniform shape and physique, easy to tame and catch, strong environmental adaptability and disease resistance, and the ability to remain stable under various experimental conditions. Due to its unique advantages such as performance, it is widely used in biological and medical research. It is a better experimental animal in genetics, microbiology and biological research, and is an irreplaceable experimental animal in non-clinical research on drugs.

Due to different experimental requirements, the feeding and management requirements of beagles are also different. It is crucial to master the correct feeding methods.

Kennel requirements

Canine experimental animals Breeding and production sites and buildings must meet GB14925-2010 standards. The ideal location should be in a dry, flat or slightly sloping place, with leeward direction, sunny location, sufficient light, and good ventilation, away from residential areas, to ensure the healthy growth of the dog. The floor and walls of the kennel are smooth and free of other debris. It is equipped with large-diameter water pipes and drainage pipes to facilitate disinfection and cleaning of dog excrement. The corridor of the dog room is well-lit and bright, and the width of the corridor should not be less than 1.5 meters, making it convenient for working and observing the status of the dog. A 2-meter-high mesh wall or iron bar should be used as a fence around the dog sports venue, with tight intervals to prevent small dogs and puppies from getting out.

In order to facilitate management, a certain number of single-room dog cages need to be set up for isolation in the experimental dog room. There should be a closed door outside the dog room to prevent the dog from being difficult to catch when it escapes. If kept in a cage, the size of the cage should be more than 1.2 times the length of the adult dog, the height should be no less than the standing height of the adult dog, and the bottom area of ​​the cage should be no less than 2 square meters. It can accommodate 2-3 puppies and 2 adult dogs. .

Feeding Tools

During the feeding process, staff must be fully armed. Wear special work clothes, protective caps, masks and special gloves to ensure the safety and hygiene of the feeding process. In order to cope with bad weather, keepers also need to be equipped with tall rubber rain boots and special raincoats and rain pants. In addition to personal protective equipment, staff should also be equipped with a variety of professional tools, such as plastic spoons for dogs, feed buckets, feed carts, water hoses, dog pliers, chains, collars, etc. In addition, in order to ensure the health and comfort of the dogs, metal food bowls, delivery beds, etc. should also be prepared to ensure that each dog receives the best care.

Health requirements

Staff can carry out During cleaning and feeding, observe whether the dog's spirit and appetite, feces shape and color, posture and gait, external body, etc. are normal. In addition, special attention should be paid to observing the dog's vagina to see whether the female dog is in estrus or has purulent secretions, and whether the male dog's foreskin has purulent secretions or ulcers.

Cleaning

In order to ensure the health and comfort of the dogs, breeders need to regularly deworm and clean them. In summer, you can rinse the dog cage with clean water and comb the dog's body to remove floating hair and dirt outside the dog's body, promote blood circulation of the dog's skin and increase metabolism. In winter, the number of flushing times can be appropriately reduced to keep the kennel dry. When puppies leave the nest and are raised in kennels, due to the large number of dogs in the same cage, excrement is easy to accumulate and bacteria can easily breed. The kennel needs to be cleaned at least twice a day and disinfected regularly.

Nutritional requirements

For the health of your dog, you must ensure that it receives adequate nutrition during daily feeding. The nutritional standards of dog feed should comply with the GB 14924.7 standard, the hygiene standards should comply with the GB 14924.2-2001 standard, and the production, packaging, storage, transportation, etc. should comply with the GB/T 14924.1-2001 standard. Animal raw materials should account for more than 60% of the feed. Processed into extruded pellet feed, the diameter should not be larger than 1cm. It should be stored in a special warehouse that can control temperature and humidity, and be insect-proof and wild-animal-proof. The storage period should not exceed 3 months. Drinking water for ordinary-level dogs should comply with the domestic drinking water standard GB 5749-2006. The domestic drinking water can be directly consumed by dogs after being filtered.

Aimeng Biology

Experimental Animal Breeding Base

Currently, the Aimeng Biological Experimental Animal Breeding Base has been completed and has obtained the "Experimental Animal Breeding Base" for beagles. Use License" and "Experimental Animal Production License", with experimental conditions for the breeding of large animals such as beagles and related basic scientific research, established a standardized standardized experimental animal breeding standard system, and completed the conservation and selection of breeding dogs. , breeding and other production work.
