CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is salmon farmed?

1. Is salmon farmed artificially?

Yes. The "salmon" we often talk about refers to Atlantic salmon, also known as Norwegian salmon. Most of the Norwegian salmon imported into my country are farmed.

2. Can barn martins be kept as pets?

Swallows are not migratory birds and have to migrate every year, so they cannot be kept.

Unless the swallows have built their own nests in your house, we say this is a good sign. You don't need to take care of them, they will take care of themselves. Also, remember not to crawl near the nests to touch the eggs and chicks.

Otherwise, the parent birds will abandon their chicks, or even throw away their eggs. Worse still, they won't come back to your home next year. My family used to have a swallow's nest in the house, and it was inside the house. So we had to leave a window on the door so that they could come in and out freely. Not interfering with their lives is the best way to take care of them. Every spring when the swallows come back, it's because the chicks from last year have grown up and flown back.

3. Can bee pupae be raised?

It can be bred. Bee pupae are eggs laid by wasps, which hatch into pupae. The pupae at this stage are particularly delicious and rich in protein, but the price of bee pupae is not cheap. The current market demand is large, which also makes many friends who want to start a business think of breeding wasps.

However, hornets need a certain breeding environment, and not all places are suitable for breeding. Therefore, we must first see whether the local area is suitable for breeding hornets, to what extent the environmental climate is suitable, and whether there are natural conditions that can reduce the cost of breeding hornets.

4. Can Wuqing be raised?

Can,

1. Pond preparation The pond requires sufficient water source, no pollution, water depth maintained at 1.5-2.5 meters, area of ​​5-10 mu, solid bank, no water leakage, no water seepage, flat bottom, less silt. Before stocking fish, remove excess silt in the pond, expose the bottom of the pond for several days, add 30 cm of water, and then emulsify 150 kg of quicklime per mu and sprinkle it all over the pond. The pond is required to have a power supply, and 1 3-kilowatt impeller aerator and 1 feeding machine are equipped for every 3-5 mu of water surface.

2. Fish stocking After the toxicity of the disinfectant (quicklime) disappears, filter and inject water to prevent wild fish from mixing into the pond. The stocking of fish should end around the end of February, when the water temperature is low and the scales of the fish are tight, so it is not easy for the fish to be injured by operations such as pulling nets and carrying. 1,500 two-year-old black carp with a tail weight of 0.5 kg should be stocked per acre of pond water, along with 100 silver carp with a tail weight of 0.3 kg, 50 bighead carp and 20 snakehead fish with a tail weight of 0.05 kg. Before entering the pond, the fish should be soaked in 3% to 5% salt water for 115 minutes for disinfection.

3. Feeding: Use artificial complete feed for black carp with a crude protein content of more than 35%. The feed particle size is 4 mm and the length is 1.5 to 2 times the particle size. The daily feeding rate can be implemented according to the reference feeding rate standards of 1.5% in March, 2% in April, 3% in May, 4.5% in June, 5% in July, 5.5% in August, 5% in September, 3% in October, and 2% in November. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific conditions such as water temperature, water quality, fish diseases, and fish feeding activities. Feed 3 to 4 times a day.

IV. Daily Management 1. Pond Inspection. Every day, pond inspections must be carried out in the morning and evening to check water quality and observe fish growth. From June to September, the machine should be turned on for 1 to 2 hours at noon on sunny days, and at midnight on rainy days. When the floating head is heavy, the machine must be turned on until dawn. 2. Water Quality Management. Add new water regularly to keep the water quality "rich, active, tender and refreshing". From June to September, quicklime should be sprinkled throughout the pond once every 10 to 15 days, with a dosage of 15 to 20 kg per mu. 3. Fish Disease Prevention and Control. Sprinkle the whole pond with hyaluronic acid preparations for disinfection, and add drugs to the feed to make medicated bait for feeding fish.

5. Can hedgehogs be kept as pets?

Can't I keep hedgehogs as pets?

The living environment of hedgehogs in the wild is complex, and they may carry certain harmful microorganisms. If you are not careful during the breeding process, they can easily infect humans.

6. Can peacocks be kept?

Blue peacocks can be raised artificially, but green peacocks cannot. Blue peacocks have a wide distribution range, and artificial breeding technology is mature, and they are not close to the critical value of vulnerable and endangered species survival; while green peacocks are only found in western and southern Yunnan in my country, and their wild numbers are rare. They are classified as first-class protected animals in the country, and private breeding and sales are prohibited.

Peacocks can be artificially bred (except for species classified as protected animals). There are three types of peacocks. The green peacock is a national first-class protected animal and it is strictly forbidden to hunt it. The blue peacock is a non-protected animal. The white peacock is a variation of the blue peacock and can be raised and eaten.

There are 2 genera and 3 species of peacocks. Among them, there are 2 species in the genus Peacock, which are more than 2 meters long in total, with a tail screen of about 1.5 meters, making them the largest in the order Galliformes. The top of the head is emerald green, and the crest is blue-green and pointed; the upper tail coverts are particularly long, forming a tail screen, which is bright and beautiful; the real tail feathers are very short and black-brown. The female bird has no tail screen, and the feathers are dark brown with many spots.

The artificially bred albino peacock is called the white peacock, which is snow-white. There is a species of the genus Congo peacock, which is 70 cm long. The male is black with a white tuft of feathers on the head, while the female is green and brown. The male has an upright crest and gorgeous plumage. The upper tail coverts are particularly extended, far exceeding the tail feathers. It has 20 tail feathers, which are long and slightly convex; the lower tail coverts are down-like;

The wings are slightly rounded, the first primary flight feather is shorter than the tenth, and the fifth is slightly the longest; the tarsus is long and strong, much longer than the claw of the middle toe, and the male has a spur. The tail screen is mainly composed of the coverts above the tail. These coverts are very long, with iridescent eye circles at the tips, surrounded by blue and bronze. During courtship performances, the male peacock will stand up the tail under the tail screen.

This causes the tail to be raised and forward, and when the courtship display reaches its climax, the tail feathers tremble, shimmer and glow, and make a rattling sound. The flying ability is not very good because it is a bit heavy and the wings are not that strong.

Additional information

The breeding season for blue peacocks is from March to June, while that for green peacocks is from June to December. They nest in pits on the ground in the bushes. The feathers of the male birds are particularly gorgeous at this time. It is common to see several male birds following the female birds, spreading their gorgeous tail coverts (i.e. tail screens) like fans, shaking them constantly, and rubbing against each other to make a "sha-sha" sound.

Male birds even fight for females. They build their nests in dense bushes, bamboo groves, and other tall grasses. The nests are extremely simple, a slightly dug-out hole in the ground lined with weeds, dead branches, fallen leaves, and residual feathers. The female bird lays an egg every other day, usually at dawn. There are 4 to 8 eggs each time, usually 5 to 6. The eggs are blunt oval, with thick and solid shells and a slight sheen; they are milky white, brown or creamy yellow, without spots.

The female incubates the eggs, which hatch after 28-30 days. The chicks have the habit of hiding under the female's tail. They grow slowly. The chicks in the first year are similar to the females, while the necks of male chicks are brighter in color. The chicks in the second year are similar to the adults of the same sex, but the males do not have a tail screen, and the exposed part of the face is blue and yellow. The chicks do not have adult plumage until the third year, when the male chicks have a fully grown tail screen.

7. Can I keep pandas as pets?

No, pandas are a first-class protected animal in the country. They cannot be privately raised or sold. If reported or investigated, they will be punished by national law.

8. Can pheasants be raised?

Pheasants can be raised Pheasants (scientific name: Lophura swinhoii), also known as pheasants and pheasants. They are lively, good at running but not good at flying. They like to wander around for food. They run fast, but have poor high-flying ability. They can only fly short distances and low and cannot last long. They have a small appetite and a variety of diets. Their stomachs are small and can hold less food. They like to eat a little and then leave, then come back to eat again. Pheasants are omnivorous birds and like all kinds of insects, small amphibians, cereals, beans, grass seeds, green leaves and young branches, etc. Artificial breeding of pheasants can be suitable for large-scale breeding environments. Pheasants have high economic value, tender and delicious meat, strong game flavor, and high protein content.

The male pheasant has brightly colored feathers and is of ornamental value. Its specimens can be provided for teaching, scientific research, and exhibitions, and can also be used as elegant and precious decorations.

9. Can horses be kept as pets?

Horses can be domesticated, and humans began domesticating horses as early as 5,000 years ago.

1. In animal taxonomy, horses are classified as: Vertebrata, Mammalia, Perissodactyla, Equidae, Equus, Equus caballus. It is a herbivorous animal. There are two subspecies in existence: domestic horse and Przewalski's horse.

2. Since horses were domesticated by humans, in the long process of development, due to the influence of the natural environment of various regions and the needs of social and economic development in different periods, the use of horses has undergone a process of alternation or mutual integration of multiple stages such as meat, dairy, agricultural production, transportation, military and sports and entertainment.

3. According to a large amount of evidence published in Science in recent years about the Botai culture in northern Kazakhstan, horses were domesticated in the Eurasian steppe at least 5,000 years ago during the Bronze Age. The earliest domestication of horses may have had three purposes: one was to keep excess hunting horses as a source of food, the second was to use them for service and archery, and the third was to use them for sacrifice or viewing.

10. Can civet cats be raised artificially? Is it legal to raise them?

It should be illegal in China, as it is a national second-class protected animal.

Civets like to pick the most mature, sweet, plump and juicy coffee berries from coffee trees as food. When coffee berries pass through their digestive system, only the pulp on the outside of the berries is digested, and the extremely hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civet's digestive system. This digestion process makes the coffee beans undergo an incomparable magical change, with a unique flavor and a particularly mellow taste. The rich and mellow sweet taste is also unmatched by other coffee beans. This is because the civet's digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the bitterness of the coffee produced by the protein much less, and increasing the mellow taste of the coffee beans. Because wild civets are obviously better at selecting good coffee berries, this coffee has extraordinary characteristics.
