Three Benefits of Applying Melatonin in Fur Animal Farming
The first is to induce premature maturation of the fur. The use of exogenous melatonin during the long summer sunshine period can increase the melatonin level in animals, which can simulate short-day sunlight and induce early maturation and maturation of winter fur, which is both economical and simple. It has been used in various fur animals. Get good results. For example, in the end of June and early July of the leeches, 5 milligrams or 10 milligrams of melatonin are implanted subcutaneously, and the fur can fully mature in October, six weeks earlier than normal. After submergence of melatonin subcutaneously in the end of June in different colors, in the first week of August, light-colored otter began to fall off, followed by darker otter, and the darkest episode began in mid-September. The order of hair replacement for each color type is the same as that under natural light, but the villi are mature several weeks earlier than those treated with melatonin. In general, raw water oysters were planted in mid-July, and adult quails that were eliminated were planted in late May and early June. After implanting melatonin, fur animals have increased appetite and increased feed intake. The growth rate in the early stage of broodstock is obviously accelerated and can reach mature weight in advance. The second is to increase cashmere and rabbit hair production. The growth of cashmere goat cashmere began in September of that year, and the growth ceased before and after the equinox year and began to fall off. It was not until September that the next villus growth cycle began. Treatment of cashmere goats with melatonin in the spring can restore villus growth that stopped growing in the summer, forming two villous growth cycles in one year, and villous yield can be increased by 11% to 37% without significant adverse effects on villus length and quality. . 12% of hair follicles in spring rabbits do not grow long hair, whereas hair follicles that cannot grow in summer reach 28% to 30%. Therefore, the yield of shaggy hair is the lowest throughout the year. Oral or subcutaneous implantation of melatonin in Angora rabbits during the summer can effectively prevent the decline in shaggy hair production. The best processing time for yield increase is July before and after the summer solstice. According to foreign studies, after 80 days of melatonin treatment, the total output of two shearing operations was 17.7% higher than that of untreated rabbits. The production of first-class hair increased by 14.1%, and the length of hair increased by 5.6%. In addition, after one week of melatonin treatment, the intake and body weight of long-haired rabbits increased significantly. The third is to extend the breeding period of fur animals, increase fertility and reduce the mortality rate of fur animals. Fur animals are mostly seasonal breeding animals, whose gonad development, estrous mating and pregnancy are all regulated by the photoperiod. The gonadal development of fur animals such as minks, foxes, and badgers must be conducted in a short-day environment. Therefore, exogenous melatonin treatment of fur animals in summer can promote the advance development of gonads in fur animals and advance their breeding season. However, retention of female fox should not be treated with melatonin.
