The subject about secrets of a diet of feeding for nutrias comes to the end with this article: features of mineral forages, applications macro – and microcells.
(Termination. The beginning in No. 15.)
Mineral forages (chalk, table salt, a fish and bone meal) – also the main components of a diet of nutrias. They are especially important for pregnant and laktiruyushchy females, molodnyaka. The lack of a diet of phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, chlorine negatively influences fertility and health of the zhivotyony. By drawing up of a diet it is necessary to consider that green forages and hay are always rich with calcium and are poor phosphorus, zeryonovy and their products are rich with phosphorus, but are poor calcium. Poyovarenny salt dissolve in water in which then presoak grain forages. Chalk in the crushed look fill from above on other forages, as well as a bone flour (or bone ashes). It is known that, except macrocells, other mineral substances are necessary for normal development of a nutria – microcells (cobalt, iodine, zinc, copper, manganese] also. In an organism of an animal they are present at very small quantities, however play important role in biochemical processes. For example, in genitals of males (semennik) a significant amount of zinc is revealed. The lack of zinc of food can lead to a besyoplodnost of females, impotence of males. The zinc additive in a diet improves a metabolism, stimulates sexual hormonal processes at females and males, reduces a sexual cycle at females, increases their fertility. In a diet to females and males rekomenduetsya daily to add on 0,5 g of sulfur-sour zinc (on 1 kg of live weight) for 1 – 1,5 months before pairing and in vremya pairings, and also to females in pregnancy. Sernoyokisly zinc – a powder of white color, flavourless, reminds table salt, is well dissolved in water.
Each type of a forage needs to be set in such quantity and in such look that animals within days ate it completely. As surpluses of a forage can grow mouldy and decay, them at once delete, and feeding troughs clean and moyut. Animals at first eat a new type of a forage ostorozhyono and reluctantly, but over time get used to it. It is very important to accustom to eat nutrias a various forage from ranyony age (puppies start to try a forage of adult animals in some days after the birth).
