Kỹ thuật cho hươu sao ăn

- Cho ăn đúng cách: Hươu giống chủ yếu hoạt động vào ban đêm, ban đêm hươu ăn tới 60% tổng số thức ăn của khẩu phần, vì vậy mỗi lần cho ăn trong ngày không nhiều, ban ngày hươu ăn ít mà dành thời gian nhai lại thức ăn qua đêm. Đây là một đặc điểm hết sức quan trọng mà người chăn nuôi cần nắm biết. Vì vậy lịch phân bố cho hươu ăn như sau:

Bữa thứ nhất: 6-7 giờ sáng cho ăn 15% thức ăn xanh.
Bữa thứ hai: 9-10giờ sáng cho ăn 15% thức ăn xanh.
Bữa thứ ba: 13-14 giờ chiều cho ăn 10% thức ăn xanh cộng với thức ăn tinh trong ngày.
Bữa thứ tư: 17 - 18giờ tối cho ăn 30% thức ăn xanh.
Bữa thứ năm: 22 giờ tối cho ăn 30% thức ăn xanh.

- Thức ăn tinh không được cho hươu ăn vào buổi sang vì ăn như vậy sẽ làm cho hươu ăn ít thức ăn xanh và thức ăn củ quả. Nên cho hươu ăn thức ăn tinh vào bữa ăn thứ ba vào lúc 13 – 14 giờ trong ngày. Hàng ngày người chăn nuôi phải thường xuyên theo dõi phân của hươu để điều chỉnh thức ăn cho hợp lý. Thường phân của hươu có dạng viên bóng, cứng hình bầu dục nếu khác với bình thường thì cần xem xét lại thức ăn cho hươu.
  Vận động – Tắm nắng – tắm chải.
Cho hươu ăn nhiều loại thức ăn xanh, đặc tính của chúng là thích ăn nhiều loại cỏ non, lá non và các loại cây có mủ. Không nên cho hươu ăn độc nhất một loại thức ăn thì sinh trưởng và phát triển, khả năng sản xuất cho nhung huou tuoi sẽ bị hạn chế.

 

Kỹ thuật cho hươu sao ăn

a). Vận động: Tuỳ thuộc vào hình thức nuôi khác nhau nên cho hươu vận động khác nhau. Hươu là động vật con mang tính hoang dã nên rất thích vận động, chạy, nhảy rất hiếu động nên khi bị bó hẹp trong nuôi nhốt thì rất khó chịu. Chúng ta nên tạo diện tích sân chơi cho hươu bằng cách khoanh vùng rộng bằng rào chắn cao 2 – 2.5m thì khả năng vận động và tắm nắng cuả hươu thịt được tốt hơn và thích nghi với điều kiện sinh lý của nó hơn, ít gây ra các hiện tượng ức chế(stree) con vật thoải mái hơn, góp phần tiêu hoá, trao đổi chất được tốt hơn.

Nếu không có điều kiện thì cần phải thiết kế mái che có lắp tấm kính có độ rộng 40X50cm cho nắng rọi vào 1giờ/ngày. Có thể thiết kế chồng cho nắng xuyên vào chuồng 7-8 giờ/ngày.

b). Tắm chải. Thứ tự tắm chải từ đầu đến mông, từ trên xuống dưới, mỗi lần chỉ cần 5- 10 phút. Trước khi tám chải phải tập làm quen với con vật để tạo cho nó có phản xạ có điều kiện. Trong quá trình tắm chải chú ý phát hiện một số ký sinh trùng nư ve, ghẽ, lỡ, loét…Nếu có hãy dùng các biện pháp sau đối với ve, ghẽ…

Bắt diệt liên tục bằng cơ học.

Dùng Ivermactin điều trị nội ngoại ký sinh trùng để tiêm 1ml/7kg trọng lượng.

Dùng các thuốc sát trùng ngoài da và khử trùng chuồng trại. Định kỳ dọn vệ sinh chuồng trại.

 Swimming Safe guides:

- Check with the lifeguard on surf conditions before swimming. If lifeguards give you directions or instructions from the stand, obey them. Never swim alone - use the buddy system. 

- Don't overestimate your swimming ability, especially early in the summer when the water is cold. Swimming ability is severely decreased in cold water.

- Judge your ability to participate in beach activities based on your swimming skills without the assistance of rafts and other flotation devices.

- Never dive into shallow water, or water of unknown depth.

- If you are confronted by a large wave and there is not enough time to get away from it, try to dive underneath the wave. Keep your body as low as possible until the wave passes over you. Timing is important, dive into the base of the wave just before it breaks. Do not dive if the water is too shallow - instead crouch and keep a low body profile. travel to Vietnam

- If caught in rip currents, relax and swim toward the shore at a 45-degree angle until you are free of the current. If the rip currents are strong, swim parallel with the shoreline in the same direction as the littoral current and then swim diagonally toward the shore. If you are not able to swim out of the currents, call or wave for help.

- When body surfing, do not ride waves in a straight line toward shore. Instead, surf at an angle to the waves. Stay away from the white water in the wave center to avoid going "over the falls."

- Never swim while intoxicated. Alcohol impairs judgment, unnecessary risks are taken and a swimmer will tire more easily, increasing the chance of an accident.
