Prospects for industrial technology of breeding of muskrat

Resumo

The aim of the work is to study the elements of the industrial technology for rearing young muskrats in rooms with a controlled microclimate and concentration of a large number of animals in small spaces. The mechanization of labor-intensive processes and dry feeding type were used. In case of keeping in two-tier mesh blocks using automatic drinkers, hopper feeders, and feces cleaning mechanisms and applying complete granulated compound feed in the work related to service of animals, the spent time is 3.2 times less than in case of the traditional method of keeping.
